Global faith meets Italian context in a pivotal evangelical gathering.This volume records the Florence conference of the Evangelical Alliance, 1891, presenting papers and addresses from international leaders on how the gospel spreads, how Holy Scripture guides life, and how Christian faith engages modern society. Framed by the contemporary shift in church-state relations in Italy, the proceedings offer practical insights into evangelization, missions, and religious liberty.
Readers will encounter thoughtful discussions on the best methods of evangelization, the role of Scripture in modern life, and the church’s response to social questions of poverty, work, and education. The collection also highlights efforts to strengthen Evangelical cooperation across nations and to support Italy’s growing but still feeble evangelical communities.
- In-depth talks on spreading the gospel and practical methods of evangelization.
- Examinations of Scripture’s authority and its relation to science and modern thought.
- Addresses on social and religious issues facing Italy and the wider world.
- Accounts of international fellowship and the aims of Evangelical cooperation.
Ideal for readers interested in church history, 19th‑century theology, and the global Evangelical movement during a time of social change in Europe.
