Book excerpt: "How did evangelicalism transform dissenting and Baptist churches in the eighteenth century? Is there a distinctively congregational expression of evangelicalism? And what contribution has evagelicalism made to pastoral theology? An exploration of the pastoral theology of Andrew Fuller (1754-1815), an influential Particular Baptist pastor and theologian in the English Midlands, suggests that evangelical renewal did not only take place alongside the local church but also within the congregation as dissenting pastoral ministry became, in the words of one diarist, 'very affecting and evangelical'."
