An Enlightening Exploration of The Christian Church During One of
Its Most Turbulent Times. Includes: American War of Independence
French Revolution European Enlightenment Industrial Revolution
Abolition of The Slave Trade The Civil War Features Maps Charts
Quotes Drawings 'Revolution' might just be the best word to
describe the period from 1789 to 1914 which was a time of momentous
and often violent change in the western world. The formation of the
modern world amidst a time of empire, upheaval, revolution, and
war. Political, social, economic, and religious transformation took
place, which dramatically affected society at large and in turn the
years that followed. In this fascinating book, the author focuses
on key people, themes, and events to show that while often society
is influenced by the Church, the reverse is equally true, for good
and bad. This is not a book that just looks at the Church in
history but a gripping explanation of the intertwining of the two,
with the huge challenges faced across the various emerging
denominations, as they begin to be seen as a worldwide Christian
church. On this truly exciting journey, here are a few of the many
events you will explore. We look at life after the American War of
Independence where different preachers took varying stances for it,
against it and pacifistic. How the French Revolution toppled a
monarchy and changed the relationship between church and state. How
the European enlightenment accompanied the decline of the church
along with emerging movements in Germany, the urbanisation of
England after the industrial revolution and the rise in Christian
socialism. The results of the American civil war and the moral
initiatives which resulted in the abolition of slavery, while the
struggles with racism and anti-Semitism continued. The landmark
publication and acceptance of Charles Darwin's 'The Origin of
Species'. Meanwhile there is an explosion in oversees missionary
work with the likes of David Livingstone in Africa, Hudson Taylor
in China, and William Carey in India. And finally, the setting of
the scene for the arrival of World War One.
