- Summary
- This book examines the moral and religious revival led by the Church of England before and after the Glorious Revolution, and shows how that revival laid the groundwork for a burgeoning civil society in Britain. After outlining the Church of England's key role in the increase of voluntary, charitable and religious societies, Brent Sirota examines how these groups drove the modernisation of Britain through such activities as settling immigrants throughout the empire, founding charity schools, distributing devotional literature, and evangelising and educating merchants, seamen and slaves throughout the British empire - all leading to what has been termed the "age of benevolence".
