The British Zion: Evangelization and the politics of dissent in Britain and the Empire, 1790--1850.
Rutz, Michael A.

The British Zion: Evangelization and the politics of dissent in Britain and the Empire, 1790--1850. - 269 p.

Chair: Richard W. Davis.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Washington University, 2002.

This dissertation examines the development of the principled and energetic political activity of Protestant dissenters within the context of evangelical expansion and the growth of British power around the globe, concentrates upon the emergence of home evangelization in late eighteenth and early nineteenth century Britain, and the activities of the London Missionary Society in the West Indies and southern Africa Evangelical nonconformists actively participated in campaigns to open colonial territories to evangelization, to abolish slavery, and to secure civil rights for indigenous peoples. These positions often set missionaries, and their supporters, at odds with settlers, slave owners, and colonial officials. The dissertation connects this political activism in the colonial sphere to evangelical dissenters' efforts to defend religious liberty and itinerant evangelization, and to secure their own civil equality at home. Empire, and more specifically missionary work, thus operated as a catalyst for, and a means of advancing, dissenting ideologies about civil and religious freedom. On a broader level, the work engages a growing historiography on the movement of peoples and ideas between the metropolitan center and the periphery of the British Empire. The argument further seeks to impress upon British historians the importance of recognizing the relationship between colonial influences and the dramatic political and economic changes taking place within British society. By identifying the connection between the missionary movement and nonconformists' desire to promote religious and civil freedom, the dissertation also shows how missionaries and other social critics saw empire as an avenue for remaking metropolitan society and politics from the periphery.
