Résumé
137 pages. Temps de lecture estimé 1h43min.
This book discusses Griffith Jones’s High Church ministry and theology, which developed into mass evangelism in Wales. It considers Jones’s background, his life as a parson, preaching in Welsh and educational interests, as well as his determination to remain within the Church of England. Bishop George Bull’s concerns about evangelism, influence of the Prayer Book and Continental Pietism, ‘conversionism’, and the tendency to separatism are also discussed. Jones may not have been an original thinker, but he was an untiring communicator and organiser. There are sections on Jones’s catechising, ‘baptismal covenant’, and moderate Calvinism which influenced later Welsh Calvinistic Methodism. Jones’s advocacy of the Welsh language, especially with English donors to his schools, his links with the SPCK, and collaboration with gentry – especially Sir John Philipps and Bridget Bevan – show the effectiveness with which he participated in the growing evangelical movement in Wales.Introduction Chapter 1 Griffith Jones in his Setting Chapter 2 Sir John Philipps, the SPCK and a New View of Mission Chapter 3 Bishop George Bull as Griffith Jones’s Mentor Chapter 4 Prayer-Book Roots of Griffith Jones’s Preaching Chapter 5 The Theology of Griffith Jones’s Preaching Chapter 6 Griffith Jones’s Moralism and Theology Chapter 7 Catechizing, Baptism, and the Trend Towards Evangelicalism Chapter 8 Griffith Jones’s Ministry and the Language Chapter 9 Griffith Jones’s Legacy to the Church of England in Wales Conclusion Bibliography
