William Ewart Gladstone: Faith and Politics in Victorian Britain

This is a print on demand book and is therefore non- returnable.

Perhaps the most eminent of eminent Victorians, a master alike of parliamentary debate and public oratory, and regarded as the greatest Christian statesman of his day, William Ewart Gladstone (1809- 1898) governed Britain at a time when the country stood at the apex of the world affairs. In this book historian David Bebbington presents a superb, balanced portrait of Gladstone -- his character, his convictions, his actions, his legacy.

David W. Bebbington has taught at the University of Stirling since 1976. In 2016 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. His publications include Evangelicalism in Modern Britain; and, as editor, Evangelicalism and Fundamentalism in the United Kingdom during the Twentieth Century.
