The Rise of
Evangelicalism
by Mark
A. Nolls
As a
history buff of a variety of genres, I've accepted my lot in life is to spend a
fairly significant portion of my life reading volumes of either dry and dusty
or arrogant and pushy accounts of history. Having read this first work in a set
of five, I'm already tracking down as many of the remaining four already in
publication, and that is because Nolls has proven to me what I've always
suspected. The presentation of easily corroborated historical facts, in regards
to the growth and development of Evangelicalism, is done in a manner that is
anything but arrogant or dry. Another thing that's easily recognized is the
focus of the writer in not getting sidetracked, which is really easy to do, especially
when writing from a historical perspective.
Finally, although there is much more that I could document in a positive
note about this book, I'm going to finish-up by saying that when I was done
with the book, I didn't feel that I was finished with the subject. Mark Nolls
accomplished what I feel my purpose as a writer is, he left me with the desire
to continue researching the subject of Evangelicalism.
Well done Mr. Nolls!
