Book Description
Excerpt from The Religious Revolution of the Nineteenth Century "The English Revolution has succeeded because it has had the sanction and authority of the Religious Revolution. The English nation has in reality this guarantee, that having passed the Rubicon of the Reformation it is impossible ever again to return to Catholic Jacobitism. Hence its confidence, its security, its calm in the midst of party struggles. This is to it as an acquired point, a certainty, an anchor, a port, such as cannot exist in France. We have been unable to secure any moral point capable of preventing us from falling again into the abyss. "The French, it has been said, have feelings but no principles. I have shown that this does not arise from their levity, but because it has been absolutely impossible for them to found their political principles on their national beliefs, or to reconcile them with those beliefs; hence, their ideas hang suspended at the mercy of every chance, or of every fanciful opinion. Have they built on the sand?" - La Revolution, par Edgar Quinet. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Freedom and Religion in the Nineteenth Century
Author: Richard J. Helmstadter
Publisher: Stanford University Press
ISBN: 9780804730877
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 476
Book Description
The subject of religious liberty in the nineteenth century has been defined by a liberal narrative that has prevailed since Mill and Macaulay to Trevelyan and Commager, to name only a few philosophers and historians who wrote in English. Underlying this narrative is a noble dream--liberty for every person, guaranteed by democratic states that promote social progress though not interfering with those broadly defined areas of life, including religion, that are properly the preserve of free individuals. At the end of the twentieth century, however, it becomes clear that religious liberty requires a more comprehensive, subtle, and complex definition than the liberal tradition affords, one that confronts such questions as gender, ethnicity, and the distinction between individual and corporate liberty. None of the authors in this volume finds the familiar liberal narrative an adequate interpretive context for understanding his particular subject. Some address the liberal tradition directly and propose modified versions; others approach it implicitly. All revise it, and all revise in ways that echo across the chapters. The topics covered are religious liberty in early America (Nathan O. Hatch), science and religious freedom (Frank M. Turner), the conflicting ideas of religious freedom in early Victorian England (J. P. Ellens), the arguments over theological innovation in the England of the 1860s (R. K. Webb), European Jews and the limits of religious freedom (David C. Itzkowitz), restrictions and controls on the practice of religion in Bismarcks Germany (Ronald J. Ross), the Catholic Church in nineteenth-century Europe (Raymond Grew), religious liberty in France, 1787-1908 (C. T. McIntyre), clericalism and anticlericalism in Chile, 1820-1920 (Simon Collier), and religion and imperialism in nineteenth-century Britain (Jeffrey Cox).
