Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the dissolution of pietism in the early Victorian period, a religious movement that emphasized personal devotion and strict moral conduct. The author analyzes the social, intellectual, and political factors that contributed to its decline, including the rise of rationalism, the waning of religious enthusiasm, and the growing skepticism toward traditional beliefs. The book examines the writings of prominent thinkers of the time, such as John Stuart Mill, Thomas Carlyle, and Charles Darwin, to illustrate the shift in religious thought and practice. It also discusses the impact of the Oxford Movement and the Tractarian controversy on the Church of England. Ultimately, the book argues that the decline of pietism paved the way for a more liberal and secular society, setting the stage for the intellectual and cultural transformations of the Victorian era.
