""Moving across disciplines, and balancing nuance and precision with cultural breadth, Martin Spence's Heaven on Earth provides a rich and compelling account of evangelical millennial thinking in the crucial period in which it evolved into its modern forms."" --Crawford Gribben, Professor of Early Modern British History, School of History and Anthropology, Queen's University, Belfast, UK ""In this remarkable book, Martin Spence provides a valuable reassessment of the place of millenarian beliefs in nineteenth-century British Evangelicalism, demonstrating how it was that such premillennialists as Lord Shaftesbury could also be activists and reformers, committed to social improvement. Exploring his theme within the broader cultural context of Romanticism, Spence's work contributes significantly to a new understanding of British Evangelicalism and progressive thought during the height of Britain's power and influence in the world."" --Stewart J. Brown, Professor of Ecclesiastical History, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, UK
