Sources for Protestant Nonconformity in England and Wales since 1662: A Structured Bibliography, by Clive D. Field ABC of Nonconformity
A research oriented handbook for all advanced students and scholars studying nonconformist movements.
Robert Pope is Reader in Theology at the University of Wales, Trinity St David, based at Lampeter, UK. He is also a minister of the United Reformed Church.
Robert Pope has gathered an impressive team of scholars who,
together, have given us a magisterial overview of English and Welsh
Nonconformity over the past three centuries or more ... This is a
rich and invaluable resource for anyone who wishes to become
acquainted with historical Nonconformity, to which students and
scholars can turn with confidence. It should be a standard volume
in any reference section of a library, whether serving the general
public or the academy.
*Theological Book Review*
What Pope, an academic and United Reformed Church minister, has
done here is edit an excellent collection of articles that places
Nonconformity within its religious, social, cultural and economic
context, and very ably articulate its contribution . . . It is a
fine, comprehensive volume with the editor achieving a good overall
balance of subject areas and those involved and an important
resource to help Methodists recognise their contribution alongside
others.
*METConnexion and Irish Methodist Newsletter*
This weighty tome commands respect, not least for its sheer size
but also for the breadth of vision which has brought it to life ...
Its 751 pages represent a sound investment for all those interested
in the history, theology and practice of English and Welsh
Nonconformity.
*Congregational History Society Magazine*
The Companion is in effect a handbook for the reader to mine the
various themes which are covered; it has an excellent index of 34
tightly packed pages which effectively aids the searcher. [....]
The editor Robert Pope, Reader in Theology at the University of
Wales, has carried a daunting task through to a successful
conclusion. The book is much to be recommended for the researcher
into the story of Nonconformity. I'd advise anyone with an interest
in this big subject, ever growing in terms of the books published
on it, to ensure if they can that a copy of Companion to
Nonconformity will be found in their local library.
*Alan Ruston, Faith and Freedom, Oxford, UK*
The book gives a wonderful overview and remains a useful
manual.
