Exporting the Rapture - John Nelson Darby Victorian Conquest of North American

Zusatztext Focusing on the premillennial dispensationalism of John Nelson Darby, Akenson presents a radical reappraisal of American apocalyptical evangelicalism, from its origins in Ireland to its entry through Canada to the northern states of the USA. This is revisionist history in the best sense of the term. No one will ever see American fundamentalism in quite the same way again. Informationen zum Autor Donald Harman Akenson grew up in Minnesota, received his B.A. from Yale and his Ph.D. from Harvard, and is Douglas Professor of Canadian and Colonial History, Queen's University, Ontario. He has published several award-winning books on the history of Ireland and on the development of the Judeo-Christian tradition. Klappentext Exporting the Rapture documents for the first time how the complex theological construct of Dispensationalism was repackaged from its southern Irish roots into a system ideal for exporting to North America, where it became the distinguishing feature of the bestselling Scofield Bible. The influence of John Nelson Darby is highlighted.
