| Résumé : |
During the early eighteenth century, colonial New England witnessed the end of Puritanism and the emergence of a revivalist religious movement that culminated in the evangelical awakenings of the 1740s. This engrossing book explores the religious history of New England during the period and offers new reasons for this change in cultural identity. After EnglandÔÇÖs Glorious Revolution, says Thomas Kidd, New Englanders abandoned their previous hostility toward Britain, viewing it as the chosen leader in the Protestant fight against world Catholicism. They also imagined themselves part of an international Protestant community and replaced their Puritan beliefs with a revival-centered pan-Protestantism. Kidd discusses the rise of ÔÇ£the Protestant interestÔÇØ and provides a compelling argument about the origins of both eighteenth-century revivalism and the global evangelical movement. ### Review "Sound in its scholarship, cogent in its arguments, and creative in its historical reconstruction, this book is a first-rate contribution to both American religious history and the early history of New England."ÔÇöMark Noll, Wheaton College ### About the Author Thomas S. Kidd is assistant professor of history at Baylor University. |
