"George Rawlyk maintained that Canadian evangelicalism has always been more accommodating than its American counterpart. In Is Jesus Your Personal Saviour? he set out to determine the quintessential nature of evangelicalism in Canada in the 1990s and to distinguish it from the more extreme evangelicalism in the southern United States." "Much of Rawlyk's data is taken from an Angus Reid poll in religious beliefs, attitudes, and practices in Canada - the largest public opinion survey of its kind ever conducted - and from scores of interviews with randomly selected evangelicals. The empirical data reveal some surprising findings, among them that sixteen per cent of all adult Canadians are evangelicals. Rawlyk also drew on his earlier historical work to establish a real connection between early Canadian evangelicalism and evangelicalism today." "What emerges in this groundbreaking and often controversial book is a complex, richly textured picture of a vibrant form of populist Christianity as experienced and practised by rank-and-file evangelicals. Is Jesus Your Personal Saviour? will inspire serious debate about the complex nature of Canadian evangelicalism in the 1990s."--Jacket.

• Part 1 The radical evangelical paradigm established: the maritime experience, Henry Alline (1748-1784)-- the shaping of the conversion paradigm, William Black (1760-1834)-- methodist new light?, David George (1743-1810)-- black Nova Scotian new light baptist, Freeborn Garrettson (1752-1827)-- a methodist new light. Harris Harding (1761-1854)-- an Allinite new light indeed.
• Part 2 The evolving radical evangelical ethos of Canada - from Nova Scotia to upper Canada and back: The Nova Scotia new lights - from the bottom up, 1785-1793-- The Canada fire - methodist radical evangelicalism in upper Canada, 1784-1812-- "A total revolution in religious and civil government" - the evolving radical evangelical ethos of British North America, 1775-1812
• Part 3 The evangelical rituals - camp meetings, believer's baptism, and the long communion: "a powerful means of awakening and converting souls" - the Hay Bay camp meeting, September 1805-- the rage for dipping, Joseph Crandall, Elijah Estabrooks, and believer's baptism, 1795-1800-- new lights, presbyterians, James MacGregor, and Nova Scotia's first long communion, July 1788.

Relative to evangelicalism elsewhere in the English-speaking world, radical evangelicalism in Canada was defined centrally (often almost exclusively) by the New Birth experience or by similar experiences, such as sanctification. Over time, however, there has been significant change regarding the centre of Canadian evangelicalism. This change, sometimes gradual and sometimes sudden, is of crucial importance in understanding all aspects of evolving Canadian Protestantism in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Prominent preachers such as Henry Alline, William Black, David George, Freeborn Garrettson, and Harris Harding as well as rank-and-file evangelists figure in The Canada Fire. Through letters, diaries, and autobiographies the actors and actresses in this unfolding religious drama speak for themselves, and their voices are permeated with vulnerability and honesty. The Canada Fire is not only a book about the distant past; it also throws light on the changing face of Canadian Protestantism in general, and Canadian evangelicalism in particular.

An impressive list of specialists in the field examine the evangelical impulse in various denominations, from the mainstream Methodists, Presbyterians, Anglicans, and United, through Baptists, Mennonites, and Lutherans, to the more sectish groups, including Holiness, Christian Mission Alliance, and the Pentecostals. Also included are comparisons between Canadian and American, British, and Australian evangelicalism and essays on evangelical networks, leaders and revivals, women, and evangelicalism in the 1990s. Growing out of a conference sponsored by the Pew Charitable Trusts in 1995 at Queen's University, the essays elaborate a variety of important themes in the study of historical and contemporary evangelicalism and weave them together to provide an informative and challenging exploration of aspects of the evangelical experience in Canada. Contributors include Phyllis D. Airhart, Alvyn J. Austin, David W. Bebbington, Edith L. Blumhofer, Robert K. Burkinshaw, Sharon Anne Cook, Nancy Christie, P. Lorraine Coops, Duff Crerar, Michael Gauvreau, Daniel C. Goodwin, Andrew S. Grenville, Bruce L. Guenther, Bryan V. Hillis, D. Bruce Hindmarsh, Mark Hutchinson, William H. Katerberg, Kevin Kee, Ronald A.N. Kydd, Barry Mack, Mark A. Noll, David Plaxton, Darrel R. Reid, John G. Stackhouse, Jr, Marguerite Van Die, Richard W. Vaudry, and Marilyn Fardig Whiteley.
