The War Upon Religion: Being an Account of the Rise and Progress of Anti-Christianism in Europe (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Confronting a century of upheaval in Europe, this work maps the rise of anti-Christian movements and the turbulent clash between church and state.
It offers a panoramic, document‑driven account of how rationalism, liberalism, and secular politics challenged Catholic authority from the 19th into the 20th century. Through detailed chapters and period sources, the book traces key episodes, figures, and policies that shaped modern Europe's religious landscape.
Written as a broad historical narrative, the book presents the popular and political currents that fed anti-Christian sentiment. It examines rationalist philosophy, state reforms, and the struggles of Catholic communities across nations, while highlighting the responses of the papacy, clergy, and lay supporters. The introduction sets up the overarching argument about how European doctrines influenced social and political upheaval.
