The Evangelical quadrilateral, I: Characterizing the British gospel movement; II: The denominational mosaic of the British gospel movement.

If Bebbington is respected in the British historical profession, he is revered in the United States, where he is often grouped alongside Mark Noll and George Marsden as a magisterial figure whose sympathetic but rigorous scholarship has brought what was once a niche subject into the mainstream. Similarly important was Bebbington's insistence that Evangelicalism cannot and should not be considered apart from its culture. The approach will be familiar to anyone who has read Bebbington before, and while it showcases his skill in crafting case studies, the cultural backdrop ("enlightenment", "romanticism", "modernism") is often highly impressionistic: a two-dimensional backdrop to the main action.
