Evangelicals and Education

"Khim Harris's perceptive study establishes how Victorian Anglican Evangelicals were committed to providing middle-class education. Some schools were founded by visionary individuals, others were established by bodies like the previously unresearched Clerical and Lay Associations."

--Alan Munden, The Queen's Foundation, Birmingham, UK



"Evangelicals and Education is a very important book. Khim Harris has provided us with a thorough-going and scholarly account of some very significant individual and corporate evangelical initiatives in English education in the nineteenth century. His work will help the reader to understand better the educational perspectives of many twentieth-century and contemporary evangelicals, particularly those influenced by evangelical Anglicanism."

--John Shortt, Editor, The Journal of Education and Christian Belief



"Dr Harris's important monograph fills a gap in the history of Victorian education and evangelicalism, providing a significant insight into the complexities of Anglican evangelical involvement in nineteenth-century middle-class schooling."

--W. B. Stephens, formerly Reader in the History of Education, University of Leeds
