Revivalism and Social Reform in Mid-Nineteenth Century America (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781258345501)

Revivalism and Social Reform in Mid-Nineteenth Century America is a book written by Timothy Lawrence Smith that explores the connection between religious revivalism and social reform in America during the mid-19th century. The book discusses how the Second Great Awakening, a religious revival movement, led to a renewed interest in social reform, particularly in the areas of temperance, women's rights, and abolitionism. Smith examines the role of prominent figures such as Charles Finney, Theodore Weld, and Sojourner Truth in promoting both religious revivalism and social reform. The book also delves into the tensions between revivalism and reform, as well as the impact of these movements on American society and politics. Overall, Revivalism and Social Reform in Mid-Nineteenth Century America provides a comprehensive analysis of the complex relationship between religion and social change during a pivotal period in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
