D. Bruce Hindmarsh. Includes Bibliographical References And Index.
This work investigates how the emergence of evangelical devotion in the eighteenth century functioned as a distinct response to the onset of modernity. D. Bruce Hindmarsh, a scholar of Christian history, utilizes primary source documents and historical analysis to argue that evangelicalism was not merely a reaction against the Enlightenment, but a complex spiritual framework that engaged with contemporary science, law, and artistic expression. The text examines how early evangelicals navigated the shifting intellectual landscape of the modern world while maintaining a focus on personal conversion and religious experience.
