Ian Randall (historian)

Ian M. Randall is a British historian and theologian who is best known for his works on the history of evangelicalism.[1] He is a Research Associate at the Cambridge Centre for Christianity Worldwide at Westminster College in Cambridge, a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society and a Senior Research Fellow at Spurgeon's College in London.[2]

Biography

Randal was born in Scotland in the royal burgh of Wick, Caithness on 9 January 1948. He studied history and economics at the University of Aberdeen and undertook theological studies at Regent's Park College at the University of Oxford. His early research on religious history in modern England challenged contemporary assumptions that portrayed evangelicals as parochial and puritanical. He argued that leading evangelicals were broadminded advocates of denominational cooperation who were deeply concerned about issues of poverty and social reform.

In 1992 Randal was appointed lecturer in church history at Spurgeon's College in London and between 1999 and 2003 he divided his time between Spurgeon's and the International Baptist Theological Seminary in Prague.
