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:
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
