It is impossible to understand the patterns of
theological and ecclesiastical change without attention
to the cultural context’, writes Professor David
Bebbington in this book.
The Brethren movement has often been associated
with a hostile attitude to culture, but the chapters in this
book also show that statements about the relationship of
the movement to culture must be more finely nuanced.
The second part of the book takes up this theme and
offers pioneering studies of hymns and hymn books,
individuals such as George Müller and Robert Rendall,
and how the tensions of the mid-twentieth century
affected spirituality.
