In 1905, Westminster Press published History of the Presbyterian Churches of the World by church historian Richard Clark Reed (1851–1925). Reed’s book, intended as a textbook for college and seminary students, covered the history of churches that subscribed to Presbyterian polity from the New Testament era to the beginning of the twentieth century. Based on Reed’s original work as well as an unpublished manuscript by Presbyterian historian Thomas Hugh Spence Jr. (1899–1986), Presbyterian and Reformed Churches: A Global History picks up the story of Presbyterian and Reformed churches where the earlier works left off. In this volume, James McGoldrick revises and updates Reed’s and Spence’s original, historically relevant works, continuing the survey to the twenty-first century.

Each chapter traces the history of Presbyterian and Reformed churches in individual nations and regions around the globe. The author covers the major events, leaders, and institutions influencing Presbyterian and Reformed church history in a readable style that is ideally suited for classroom study as well as for independent reading. A list of suggested additional readings concludes each chapter.

Rowland Hill (1744–1833) was one of the most intriguing and astonishing char­acters of early evangelicalism. An independent preacher, he was admired by those who knew him but ridiculed and criticized by his opponents, especially at Cam­bridge. He had connections with the General Evangelical Society, and helped spread the gospel across Britain. Touted as “the second Whitefield,” Hill’s preaching spread evangelical convictions in an age when rationalism, deism, and enlightenment philosophies were sweeping the nation.

Written in a lively and engaging style, The Life of Rowland Hill transports the reader back to a dramatic age of conflict and upheaval. Published in a time when interest in the origins and spread of evangelicalism has gained impetus, this biography will reinstate Hill as a central and compelling figure in the progress of evangelicalism in the age of reason.

 “This is a large and great book on a larger-than-life and great preacher of two centuries ago. Tim Shenton shows that Rowland Hill was a kind of Luther figure in his own day—spiritual yet earthy, practical yet eccentric, energetic yet controversial, colorful yet black and white in so many of his convictions, profoundly loved and admired yet despised and hated, and kind yet frequently sharp with his tongue. Shenton’s biography of Rowland Hill will go a long way toward making this great man of God much better known in our generation.” — Joel R. Beeke, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary
