Description

F. B. Meyer (1847-1929) was one of the most prominent Free Church ministers of his period. He had a number of successful local church ministries in which he gave priority to work as an evangelist, an emphasis which owed much to the decisive influence of D. L. Moody. He became the foremost international spokesman of the Keswick Convention. Meyer's ability to combine Keswick spirituality with the dedication to local and national sociopolitical activity was unique. Comparatively little scholarly work has been done on the remarkably wide-ranging contribution of F. B. Meyer to evangelical life. This study gives insights into that contribution and also into crucial developments which took place from the 1870s to the 1920s in British evangelicalism. Developments in the areas of spirituality and social change have particular relevance today.
