About this title

Synopsis

How do faith, institutions, and social change shape a nation?

This work examines the growth of the Church of Christ alongside broad trends in population, wealth, and vice, offering a historical lens on religion’s role in public life.

This edition combines analysis of religious movements with examples from debates on temperance, prohibition, and civic policy. It presents patterns and arguments from late 19th-century American religious life, helping readers understand the era’s high-stakes conversations about morality, culture, and governance.

• Tracks the rise of church influence versus societal changes in the same period.
• Discusses debates around temperance, prohibition, and political power.
• Offers historical context for how religious groups engaged with public policy.
• Provides insights into the era’s moral and social priorities through concrete examples.

Ideal for readers of religious history and 19th-century American social reform looking for context on how faith intersected with politics and culture.
