The end of the century has attracted much interest from scholars of literary and cultural studies, who regard it as a critical moment in the history of their disciplines; but it has been almost completely ignored by religious historians. Frances Knight here sets right that neglect. She shows how late Victorian Britain (often said to be one of the most intensely Christian societies the world has ever seen) reacted to the bold agendas being set by the thinkers of the fin de sie?cle; and how prominent Church figures during the era first identified many of the concerns that have preoccupied Christians latterly. These include a nascent interest in social justice and alleviating poverty; the rise of liberalism and debates about societys decadence ; new ideas about the role of women; and the increasing sophistication of biblical and archaeological scholarship from pioneering figures like J B Lightfoot, Francis Crawford Burkitt and Flinders Petrie."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 410 0$aLibrary of modern religion ;$v48. 606 $aChristianity and culture$zEngland$zLondon$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aChristianity and culture$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aChristianity$zEngland$zLondon 606 $aChristianity$zGreat Britain 606 $aReligion and sociology$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aLiterary studies: c 1800 to c 1900$2BIC 607 $aGreat Britain$xChurch history$y19th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xHistory$yVictoria, 1837-1901 607 $aLondon (England)$xChurch history$y19th century 615 0$aChristianity and culture$xHistory 615 0$aChristianity and culture$xHistory 615 0$aChristianity 615 0$aChristianity 615 0$aReligion and sociology$xHistory 615 7$aLiterary studies: c 1800 to c 1900. 676 $a274.1081 700 $aKnight$b Frances$0863119 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910154895203321 996 $aVictorian Christianity at the fin de sie?cle$92435595 997 $aUNINA
