Exporting the Rapture

John Nelson Darby and the Victorian Conquest of North-American Evangelicalism

Beschreibung

Exporting the Rapture documents for the first time how the complex theological construct of Dispensationalism was repackaged from its southern Irish roots into a system ideal for exporting to North America, where it became the distinguishing feature of the bestselling Scofield Bible. The influence of John Nelson Darby is highlighted.
