(Brought up in the Free Church of Scotland, Robert Mackint...)
Brought up in the Free Church of Scotland, Robert Mackintosh (1858-1933) left that Church on conscientious grounds, and became a Congregationalist. After a pastorate in Dumfries he served for over thirty years as a Professor at Lancashire Independent College, Manchester. Two chapters are devoted to his life and work, and three to his thought. In a concluding chapter his over-all contribution is assessed. Mackintosh emerges as a critical, level-headed dogmatician who sought to relate theology to philosophical and other thought, and to the issues of his day. Provocative yet humble, many of the things he has to say are thoroughly germane to the current theological and ecclesiastical debate.

Though small in area, the old county of Westmorland was home to numerous nonconformist groups. In this comprehensive account of these movements, reference is made to Quaker origins; to the older Dissent, both Independent and Presbyterian (and thence Unitarian); to the Inghamites and the Sandemanians: to the visits to the county of Fox, Nayler, Ingham, Whitefield, Wesley, and Woolman; to the coming of the Baptists; and to such later developments as Primitive and United Methodism, the Evangelical Union, the Brethren, and the Pentecostals.

In "Theology in Turmoil" Alan Sell examines the controversy between conservatives and liberals. The perennially important question "What is the Christian gospel" was, writes the author, "thrust to the fore in that debate between theological conservatives and liberals which was at its height between 1890 and 1930, and of which echoes may be heard to this day. In this book I seek to trace the roots of this debate, to outline its course, and draw some lessons from it"
