Description

This book is the first volume to cover the study and use of the Bible by Protestant dissenters in Britain from the mid-seventeenth to the mid-twentieth centuries. Its ten essays recover a missing dimension to the reception of the Bible in Britain. They also offer a new way of understanding the divided history of Protestantism, presenting dissenters as people drawn together by the belief that they were truer to the Bible than any other Christians, while remainingdivided by deep-seated differences in how they read it.
