Aspects of Canadian evangelical historiography

Abstract

This 1995 presidential address to the Canadian Society of Church History (CSCH) examines the study of the history of evangelicalism in Canada. It describes and attempts to explain the enormous changes which have occurred over the last several decades as historians have turned from virtual neglect of evangelical history to a significant and growing emphasis upon it. The article also outlines some of the directions in that historiography, as indicated by works published over the last decade and by papers presented at a major conference held at Queen's University in May 1995.
