the cambridge history of
CHRISTIANITY
During the tumultuous period of world history from
1660
to
1815
,
three complex movements combined to bring a fundamental cul-
tural reorientation to Europe and North America, and ultimately
to the wider world. The Enlightenment transformed views of
nature and of the human capacity to master nature. The religious
reawakenings brought a revival of heart-felt, experiential Christian-
ity. Finally revolution, the political and social upheavals of the late
eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, challenged established
ideas of divine-right monarchies and divinely ordained social hier-
archies, and promoted more democratic government, notions of
human rights, and religious toleration. A new religious climate
emerged, in which people were more likely to look to their own
feelings and experiences for the basis of their faith. During this
same period, Christianity spread widely around the world as a
result of colonialism and missions, and responded in diverse ways
to its encounters with other cultures and religious traditions.

the cambridge history of
CHRISTIANITY
The
Cambridge History of Christianity
offers a comprehensive
chronological account of the development of Christianity in all its
aspects – theological, intellectual, social, political, regional, global –
from its beginnings to the present day. Each volume makes a sub-
stantial contribution in its own right to the scholarship of its period
and the complete
History
constitutes a major work of academic
reference. Far from being merely a history of Western European
Christianity and its offshoots, the
History
aims to provide a global
perspective. Eastern and Coptic Christianity are given full consider-
ation from the early period onwards, and later, African, Far Eastern,
New World, South Asian and other non-European developments
in Christianity receive proper coverage. The volumes cover popu-
lar piety and non-formal expressions of Christian faith and treat the
sociology of Christian formation, worship and devotion in a broad
cultural context. The question of relations between Christianity
and other major faiths is also kept in sight throughout. The
History
will provide an invaluable resource for scholars and students alike.
