2,000 Years of Christ's Power Vol. 5, The Age of Enlightenment and Awakening

How does man think? Into the Age of Reason came the Evangelical revival through the voices of George Whitefield, John Wesley and Jonathan Edwards. Despite a societal cooling, the work of God through evangelical Preachers awakened and warmed the hearts of many. In every age, Christ’s kingdom continues to conquer. Needham brings us close to our most recent church history and uncovers the shifts in thought that radically altered society’s relationship to reason and faith. With the Enlightenment, came a tide of social, economic, and political change that deeply affected the spiritual climate. Featuring: Scientific Revolution, Immanuel Kant: The philosopher of the Enlightenment, The French Revolution, Calvinist–Arminian controversy etc. The fifth and final volume. Academically reliable, the accessible humorous style and accompanying glossary makes church history a subject for everyone to benefit from.
