- Maiden was involved in the leadership of this volume from its inception, in 50-50 partnership with Atherstone at each stage of its development. The papers were initially presented at a symposium ‘Evangelicals and the Church of England in the Twentieth Century’,’ at Wycliffe Hall, Oxford, in 2013. The speakers and papers were commissioned with the coherence and scope of the planned edited volume in mind. This collection had been conceptualised by Maiden and Atherstone to cover a series of under-researched organisations and themes across the twentieth century, each which had hitherto received insufficient scholarly attention and demonstrated the internal diversity of Anglican evangelicalism. In doing so, the volume was intended to break new historiographical ground, challenging the established narrative which sees the Keele Conference of 1967 as the defining ‘turning point’ of the evangelical wing. On the advice of an anonymous peer review, the collection included an extensive Introduction (47 pages), based on substantial new research, as well as insights from the chapters. It was written equally by Maiden and Atherstone and offered a new interpretative framework for the study of Anglican evangelicalism, recognising three tendencies of reform, resistance and renewal; deconstructing aspects of the dominant narrative of the movement, recognising continuities pre- and post-1967; and locating the movement within recent scholarly themes concerning English religion and society, as well as global Anglicanism. Maiden was also the individual author of a chapter, based on original archive research, on long-term themes in Evangelical and Anglo-Catholic relations. Maiden took the lead on providing critical editorial feedback on 50% of the Chapters and steered authors towards material and issues which would serve the purpose and scope of the volume. The Introduction was described by Hugh McLeod in History as ‘excellent’ and the volume as an ‘authoritative treatment’ on the topic.
