Description

The Evangelical Century will undoubtedly transform the way Canadian intellectual history is interpreted. Michael Gauvreau reassesses the explanations of the role of religion in English-Canadian society put forth in the last twenty years by Ramsay Cook, A.B. McKillop, and Richard Allen, and makes an important contribution to our understanding of the relationship between theology, culture, and society.
