This original and persuasive book examines the moral and religious
revival led by the Church of England before and after the Glorious
Revolution, and shows how that revival laid the groundwork for a
burgeoning civil society in Britain. After outlining the Church of
England's key role in the increase of voluntary, charitable, and
religious societies, Brent Sirota examines how these groups drove
the modernization of Britain through such activities as settling
immigrants throughout the empire, founding charity schools,
distributing devotional literature, and evangelizing and educating
merchants, seamen, and slaves throughout the British empire-all
leading to what has been termed the "age of benevolence."
