About this product
Product Information
In God's Empire, Hilary M. Carey charts Britain's nineteenth-century transformation from Protestant nation to free Christian empire through the history of the colonial missionary movement. This wide-ranging reassessment of the religious character of the second British empire provides a clear account of the promotional strategies of the major churches and church parties which worked to plant settler Christianity in British domains. Based on extensive use of original archival and rare published sources, the author explores major debates such as the relationship between religion and colonization, church-state relations, Irish Catholics in the empire, the impact of the Scottish Disruption on colonial Presbyterianism, competition between Evangelicals and other Anglicans in the colonies, and between British and American strands of Methodism in British North America.

Reviews
Advance praise: 'This is a groundbreaking study of British and Irish efforts to forge a Christian empire through missions to the settlement colonies - deeply impressive for its balanced judgements, geographical breadth and multi-denominational approach. Hilary Carey has given a promising new direction to the study of imperial religion.' Stewart J. Brown, Professor of Ecclesiastical History and Head of the School of Divinity, University of Edinburgh, 'Hilary Carey has fashioned a pathbreaking narrative of the complex history of British Christianity in the settler colonies. Notable for its breadth, God's Empire provides an accomplished comparative and statistical analysis of the work of every major British denomination along with a valuable account of the colonial work of the English Benedictines. It will be of special interest to historians of religion and colonial history alike.' Jeffrey L. Cox, Professor of History, University of Iowa, 'Deeply researched and also highly readable, this is a pioneering venture into largely unexplored historical territory. Especially impressive is Hilary Carey's even-handedness. She establishes the major role played by religion in the building of Greater Britain, yet her narrative remains equally distanced from apologetics and from debunking.' Hugh McLeod, Professor of Church History, University of Birmingham, "Tyrrell's well-crafted and carefully argued volume cogently lays out the arguments and the personalities of this crucial debate as they emerged in the early twentieth century." -- Frederick Quinn, Anglican and Episcopal History, "Carey has written a serious and densely documented and sourced book. It is the place to go if one wishes to understand the main outlines of the ways in which the churches established their institutional presence in the Empire." -Richard N. Price, Victorian Studies, 'This is a groundbreaking study of British and Irish efforts to forge a Christian empire through missions to the settlement colonies - deeply impressive for its balanced judgements, geographical breadth and multi-denominational approach. Hilary Carey has given a promising new direction to the study of imperial religion.' Stewart J. Brown, Professor of Ecclesiastical History and Head of the School of Divinity, University of Edinburgh

Item as described, good price, well packaged, arrived slightly later than hoped (not in time for Christmas ) but the order was placed in a very busy shipping period. No issue with the seller’s speed of response and sending the item. Great seller!

I was pleasantly surprised by how soon I received this textbook given that it shipped from outside the U.S. It was packaged well with no damage. The price was right. And I greatly appreciated the communication informing me where the book was shipping from and including a tracking number. Overall, a positive experience, - online shopping the way it should be. I've bought books from this seller several times now without any complaints and will surely buy from them again. Thanks a lot!

Quality and hard to find book that won't be released 'til January 2025 in the U.S.A.
Fantastic price.
Book was in a secure and protective package. Arrived a few days after I placed order and that was faster than I expected.
Seller is a fantastic communicator and proactive in regards to tracking status. I'd definitely buy from them in the future.
