Description
This introduction to global Christianity from 1700 to the mid 20th century provides a comprehensive overview of the processes, movements and individuals that have shaped the contemporary Christian landscape. A wide and inclusive approach is taken to cover Protestant, Catholic and Orthodox Christianity, with a focus on the UK, continental Europe and North America.
The book charts significant events and developments in each region, including the reaction to Lutherism, the rise of Pietism, the influence of John Wesley and the Methodists, and the 'Great Awakening' in North America. It also examines the social movements, campaigns and campaigners that have shaped the Christian Church throughout this period.
Suitable for level two courses as well as introductory studies in modern church history or religion, culture and society in the 18th-20th centuries, this book offers a balanced survey of Christianity in all its forms.
