The 19th century was, to a large extent, the 'British century'.
Great Britain was the great world power and its institutions,
beliefs and values had an immense impact on the world far beyond
its formal empire. Providence and Empire argues that knowledge of
the religious thought of the time is crucial in understanding the
British imperial story. The churches of the United Kingdom were the
greatest suppliers of missionaries to the world, and there was a
widespread belief that Britain had a divine mission to spread
Christianity and civilisation, to eradicate slavery, and to help
usher in the millennium; the Empire had a providential purpose in
the world. This is the first connected account of the interactions
of religion, politics and society in England, Scotland, Ireland and
Wales between 1815 and 1914. Providence and Empire is essential
reading for any student who wishes to gain an insight into the
social, political and cultural life of this period.
