Thomas Thomas of Pontypool: Radical Puritan, by Canon
Arthur J Edwards (APECS Press, Caerleon 2009) £8.99
This book cannot fail to impress and inspire those reading
about Thomas Thomas, a leader of strong principles, far-sighted
in outlook and humanitarian in his work as a Nonconformist
minister and teacher.
This combination of qualities helped to achieve significant
religious and social developments in nineteenth century Wales,
in particular the disestablishment of the Anglican Church.
This compelling account shows how his unflinching and lifelong
devotion to social change and injustice in the industrial
society of Pontypool extended well beyond Nonconformity to the
wider church and secular population.
