"Atkins' work represents a reassessment of how evangelicalism was situated in the public life of the period.-- ""Anglican and Episcopal History"" Atkins's analysis of networks in the Anglican Church, the banking and business world of the City of London, the colonies (in particular Sierra Leone and India), and the Royal Navy give the reader good insights into the influence of Evangelicals in Britain and abroad. . . . In drawing on primary and secondary sources, archival and manuscript collections, and unpublished theses, Atkins furthers the value of this scholarly and informative book. Recommended.-- ""CHOICE"" Gareth Atkins's excellent new volume . . . could not have come at a better time. While largely written as a scholarly monograph for historians of evangelicalism and of late-18th and early 19th-century Britain, this work will appeal to a broader readership by illuminating the character and complexity of a less well-known historical manifestation of this incredibly influential religious movement.--Christopher Corbin ""The Living Church"" This is an extremely well-written and deeply researched book that is also a pleasure to read. . . . [T]his is an important book made moreover enjoyable through its energetic writing, comprehensive research and compelling organization. Definitely recommended reading!--Emily J. Manktelow ""Journal of British Studies"""
