MODERN CHRISTIANITY
to 1900:
A People's History of
Christianity, vol. 6

edited by Amanda Porterfield

Christians encounter the modern spirit—

The conflictive and fast-changing scene in which Christians of all allegiances found themselves after the Reformation yielded vast and distinct new challenges and venues to ordinary Christians. The spread of Christianity to lands outside Europe and the Middle East, the new pluralism within Christianity, the incredible transformation of the the Americas and of Christianity there—all these provoked new relations among Protestants and Catholics, women and men, master and slave. In this volume, the way in which lived Christianity and its practices was altered by these global changes is probed by an illustrious group of scholars led by Amanda Porterfield.

Amanda Porterfield is the Robert A. Spivey Professor of Religion and Director of Graduate Studies at Florida State University, Tallahassee. Her extensive academic service includes as President of the American Society of Church History in 2001. She is the author of ten books on American religion.
