The anthology documents the arc of Christian writings from the reestablishment of the Church of England to the rise of the Methodist movement in the middle of the eighteenth century. The Enlightenment era witnessed the explosion of mass print culture and the unprecedented expansion of literacy across society. These changes transformed many inherited Christian genres--such as the sermon and the devotional manual--while also generating new ones, from the modern church hymn to spiritual autobiography.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe authors included in this collection confronted the rise of modern science and forged new rules of modern toleration. Their writing reveals the unprecedented spiritual authority assumed by women and helps explain how emotion moved to the center of religious experience. \u003ci\u003eReligion in Enlightenment England\u003c\/i\u003e captures the literary energy and excitement unleashed by the Enlightenment itself: authors engage one another in spirited dialogue that pits reason against revelation, religious conformity against dissent, innovation against tradition, and Freethinking against natural religion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn indispensable asset for any scholar's library, the anthology includes texts by William Law, John Bunyan, Elizabeth Singer Rowe, John and Charles Wesley, Richard Baxter, John Toland, Mary Astell, Daniel Defoe, John Norris, Margaret Fell Fox, Isaac Watts, Thomas Traherne, John Tillotson, William Penn, and Anne Conway.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jayne Elizabeth Lewis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1602583005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781602583009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Baylor University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 420\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.08lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.94d","brand":"Jayne Elizabeth Lewis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44245309784319,"sku":"9781602583009","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_988b0cdf-afa7-477d-9bdd-83cf95b83422.jpg?v=1693927307","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/religion-in-enlightenment-england-jayne-elizabeth-lewis-9781602583009","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
