The nineteenth century was one of the most fascinating and volatile
periods in Christian history. It was during this time that
Christianity evolved into a truly global religion, which led to an
ever greater variety of ways for Christians to express and profess
their faith. Frances Knight addresses the crucial question of how
Christianity contributed to individual identity in a context of of
widespread urbanisation and modernisation. She explores important
topics such as the Evangelical revival led by the likes of the
founder of the Christian Mission - later the Salvation Army -
William Booth; the Oxford Movement under Newman, Keble and Pusey;
Mormonism and Protestant revivalism in the USA; socialism and the
impacts of Karl Marx and anarchism; continuing theological
divisions between Protestants and Catholics; and the development of
pilgrimage and devotion at places like Lourdes and Knock. Her book
also examines the most significant intellectual trends, such as the
rise of critical approaches to the Bible, and the different
directions that these took in Britain and America. The author's
unique emphasis on the 'ordinary' experience of Christians
worldwide makes her volume indispensable for students and general
readers who will be fascinated by this sensitive twenty-first
century perspective on the nineteenth century.
