Ian Randall

Ian M. Randall FRHistS (born 9 January 1948) is a British historian who is best known for his works on the history of European evangelicalism and Protestant nonconformity.

Randall also serves as a senior research fellow at Spurgeon's College in London and the International Baptist Theological Study Centre in Amsterdam.

His subsequent masters work at London School of Theology followed by his doctoral studies at the University of Wales focused on the history of evangelical thought and spirituality.

Randall's research on religion in Victorian England and interwar Britain challenged popular assumptions that portrayed evangelical Christianity as parochial and puritanical.

He argued that evangelicals were broadminded advocates of denominational cooperation who were deeply concerned about issues of poverty, spirituality and social reform.
