T&T Clark Companion to Nonconformity
Protestant Nonconformity, the umbrella term for Congregationalists, Presbyterians, Baptists, Methodists and Unitarians, belongs specifically to the religious history of England and Wales. Initially the result of both unwillingness to submit to the State's interference in Christian life and a dissatisfaction with the progress of reform in the English Church, Nonconformity has been primarily motivated by theological concern, ecclesial polity, devotion and the nurture of godliness among the members of the church. Alongside such churchly interests, Nonconformity has also made a profound contribution to debates about the role of the State, to family life and education, culture in general, trade and industry, the development of philanthropy and charity, and the development of pacifism. In this volume, for the first time, Nonconformity and the breadth of its activity come under the expert scrutiny of a host of recognised scholars. The result is a detailed and fascinating account of a movement in church history that, while currently in decline, has made an indelible mark on social, political, economic and religious life of the two nations.

The Span of the Cross
This volume is a history of 20th-century Christianity in Wales. Beginning with a description of religion and its place in society in 1914, it assesses the effect which the Great War had on people's spiritual convictions and on religious opinion and practice. It proceeds to analyze the state of the disestablished Church in Wales, an increasingly confident Catholicism and the growing inter-war crisis of Non-comformity. Liberal theology and the social gospel, the fundamentalist impulse and the churches' response to economic dislocation and political change are discussed, as is the much less traumatic effect of World War II.
Lewis Edwards
Lewis Edwards (1809–87) oedd pennaf ysgolhaig Cymru’r bedwaredd ganrif ar bymtheg ac yn un a gododd safonau y Gymru Ymneilltuol a’u gosod ar seiliau dysg rhyngwladol. Yn Fethodist Calfinaidd o ran ei fagwraeth a’i argyhoeddiadau, yfodd yn ddwfn o dduwioldeb ei gyfnod. Mynnodd gymathu ei ysbrydolrwydd â dysg, a thrwy hynny bu’n anniwall am ei addysgu ei hun, yn gyntaf mewn ysgolion gwlad lleol yng Ngheredigion, ei sir enedigol, yna ym Mhrifysgol Llundain, ond yn bennaf ym Mhrifysgol Caeredin, sef yr unig brifysgolion a oedd yn agored i Ymneilltuwyr Protestannaidd na allent gydymffurfio, o ran cydwybod, â’r Eglwys Wladol. Oni bai am hynny i Brifysgol Rhydychen yr âi. Yn ogystal ag ymorol am ddysg, mynnodd gyfuno ei grefydd brofiadol, Fethodistaidd, â diwylliant secwlar, yn llenyddol ac yn athronyddol, rhywbeth a wnaeth yn bur lwyddiannus yn ystod ei gyfnod wrth draed yr awdur ‘Christopher North’ a’r ysgolhaig Thomas Chalmers yn yr Alban (1833–6).
