About Us

Started in 1987, the Evangelical History Association (EHA) is an Australian-based community of historians whose research involves the history of evangelicalism in its many modes, and evangelicalism’s impact on the globe. The EHA seeks to do two things:

to grow and develop as a genuine community of people - the kind of community which nurtures evangelical historians as well as research in evangelical history
to find creative and effective ways to share the fruits of evangelical historical scholarship with its relevant audiences.

Although evangelical movements are the principal concern of the EHA it welcomes members with broader historical interests. The Association also produces its own peer-reviewed hard-copy journal, Lucas: An Evangelical History Review, which is sent to all members. Contributions are welcome from anyone whose research falls within the field of the history of evangelicalism.

The EHA is a community of historians working in the field of Evangelical History.

Rev Richard Johnson, a friend of William Wilberforce and John Newton and a convinced evangelical, was the first chaplain to New South Wales, preaching the first sermon on Australian soil in 1788
