The Canada fire : radical Evangelicalism in British North America, 1775-1812
G.A. Rawlyk examines the remarkable growth and evolution of "radical evangelicalism" in British North America from the American Revolution to the War of 1812. He argues that radical evangelicalism was the leading edge of Protestantism and was more democratic and populist than contemporary evangelicalism in the United States. --from publisher description
