This title was first published in 2001. 'An age of faith or an age
of doubt?'- the question has dominated study of Christianity in the
Victorian era. Reinventing Christianity offers a fresh analysis of
the vitality and variety of Christianity in Britain and America in
the Victorian era. Part One presents an overview of some of the
main varieties of Christianity in the west ranging from the
conservative - Protestant evangelicalism and 'fortress' Catholicism
- to the radical - Theosophy, Swedenborgianism and
Transcendentalism; Part Two reviews negotiations between
Christianity and the wider culture. The conclusion reflects on
general trends in the period, showing how many of these prefigured
later developments in religion. This book highlights the creativity
and diversity of 19th century Christianity, showing how
developments normally associated with the late 20th century - such
as the reassertion of tradition and the rise of feminist theology
and alternative spirituality - were already in train a century
before.
