How 7 Transformational Events in 1776 Paved the Way for Today's Post-Christian West
With dizzying social transformations in everything from gender to social justice, it may seem like there's never been a more tumultuous period in history. But a single year in the late 18th century saw a number of influential transformations―or evenrevolutions―that changed the social trajectory of the Western world. By understanding how those events influenced today's cultural landscape, Christians can more effectively bear witness to God's truth in a post-Christian age.
InRemaking the World, Andrew Wilson highlights 7 major developments from the year 1776―globalization, the Enlightenment, the Industrial Revolution, the Great Enrichment, the American Revolution, the rise of post-Christianity, and the dawn of Romanticism―and explains their relevance to social changes happening today. Carefully examining key documents and historical figures,Wilson demonstrates how a monumental number of political, philosophical, economic, and industrial changes in the year of America's founding shaped the modern West into a "WEIRDER" society: Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, Democratic, Ex-Christian, and Romantic. This thoroughly researched yet accessible book offers a unique historical perspective on modern views of family, government, religion, and morality―giving Christians the historical lens they need to understand today's post-Christian trends and respond accordingly.Relevant Cultural and Historical Analysis:Skillfully connects key ideas and events from the past to the presentComprehensive:Examines important developments from 1776, including the American Revolution, Thomas Paine'sCommon Sense, Edward Gibbon'sThe History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire; James Watt's steam engine; Adam Smith'sWealth of Nations; and Immanuel Kant'sCritique of Pure ReasonInformative:Covers key historical figures, including John Adams, Edmund Burke, and David HumeBiblical: Equips and encourages readers to share the gospel in a post-Christian worldA Great Resource for Pastors, Scholars, and Readers of Carl Trueman'sThe Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self
