Evangelical Quarterly is a quarterly peer-reviewed academic journal specializing in Protestantism, Evangelicalism, Theology, Biblical criticism and Church history. Founded in the early 20th century amid debates involving figures associated with Fundamentalism, Liberal Christianity, Anglicanism, Presbyterian Church of Scotland and Methodism, the journal has published scholarship by contributors linked to institutions such as University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, University of Edinburgh, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School and Dallas Theological Seminary. It has addressed topics intersecting with movements and events like the Oxford Movement, the Keswick Convention, the Evangelical Alliance (19th century), the World Council of Churches and revival movements in Wales and Scotland.

History

The journal emerged against the backdrop of theological controversies involving personalities tied to Charles Spurgeon, J. Gresham Machen, Karl Barth, F. F. Bruce and C. S. Lewis, and institutions such as Westminster Theological Seminary, Regent's Park College, Ridley Hall, Cambridge and the University of St Andrews. Early editors and contributors interacted with movements like Plymouth Brethren, Baptist Union of Great Britain, Free Church of Scotland and events including the Welsh Revival (1904–1905), the Edinburgh Missionary Conference (1910), and debates spurred by publications from The Fundamentalist-Modernist Controversy protagonists. Over decades the journal reflected shifts related to scholarship emerging from Great Britain and North America, responding to works by scholars at Harvard Divinity School, Yale Divinity School, Princeton Theological Seminary and King's College London.

Articles have spanned exegesis on canonical books like Genesis, Exodus, Isaiah, Psalms, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts of the Apostles, Romans (Epistle to the Romans), and Revelation while engaging historiography concerning Reformation, Puritanism, Great Awakening, Evangelical Revival (18th century), Methodist Conference personalities and missionary enterprises linked to William Carey, David Livingstone, Amy Carmichael and Hudson Taylor. The journal has also published studies on doctrinal figures such as John Calvin, Martin Luther, Jonathan Edwards, George Whitefield, Charles Haddon Spurgeon and John Wesley, and on contemporary theologians including J. I. Packer, Gordon Fee, N. T. Wright, John Stott and R. C. Sproul.
