The Twilight of the American Enlightenment Lib/E - The 1950s and the Crisis of Liberal Belief (Standard format, CD, Library Edition)

In the aftermath of World War II, the United States stood at a precipice. The forces of modernity unleashed by the war had led to astonishing advances in daily life, but technology and mass culture also threatened to erode the country s traditional moral character. As award-winning historian George M. Marsden explains in "The Twilight of the American Enlightenment," postwar Americans looked to the country s secular liberal elites for guidance in this precarious time, but these intellectuals proved unable to articulate a coherent common cause by which America could chart its course. Their failure lost them the faith of their constituents, paving the way for a Christian revival that offered America a firm new moral vision one rooted in the Protestant values of the founders.

A groundbreaking reappraisal of the country s spiritual reawakening, "The Twilight of the American Enlightenment" shows how America found new purpose at the dawn of the Cold War.
