HOLINESS IN NINETEENTH-CENTURY ENGLAND
By David Bebbington
Paternoster. 97 pages
ISBN 0 85364 981 2

This book comprises the Didsbury Lectures for 1998, and it makes an interesting and worthwhile contribution to the series which gave us F.F. Bruce's Men and Movements in the Primitive Church and many another scholarly yet accessible work.

The book looks at four views of holiness in the 19th century: those of the High Church, including the Oxford Movement; the Calvinist Tradition; the Wesleyan Tradition; and the Keswick Movement.
