...to a new aggressiveness, directed against the Unitarians on one hand and against the Church on the other: it was among the Evangelical Dissenters that the agitation for disestablishment was launched with new intensity in the 1840s.

.... Yet doing so often entailed storming male bastions: recent scholarship has shown surprising parallels between the language of Evangelical women enthusiasts like Hannah More and that of radical feminists like Mary *Wollstonecraft .

We depend heavily on the records of police informers, court prosecutors, local magistrates, and zealous *Evangelical morality campaigners, all anxious to discipline potential sources of social, political, and religious disorder.

Each of these stages has importance for an appreciation of the psalms. 10. Prophecy. While most Christians outside the conservative evangelical, pentecostal, and charismatic groups no longer accept that the truth of their religion is confirmed by OT predictions of incidents in the life of Jesus, they accept that the God of the NT is the same God as that of the OT.
