The Second Reformation: Or Christianity Developed (1851)

By Alexander Alison

Book Overview

The Second Reformation: Or Christianity Developed is a book written by Alexander Alison and first published in 1851. The book is a comprehensive treatise on the history and development of Christianity, focusing on the Protestant Reformation and its impact on the church. Alison argues that the Reformation was not just a historical event, but a continuing process of reform and renewal within the church. He contends that the true essence of Christianity lies in its message of love and compassion, and that this message has been obscured by centuries of dogma and tradition. The book is divided into four parts, each of which explores a different aspect of the Second Reformation. Part one discusses the history of the church from its origins to the Reformation, while part two examines the theological and philosophical foundations of the Reformation. Part three focuses on the social and political impact of the Reformation, and part four explores the ongoing development of Christianity in the modern world. Throughout the book, Alison draws on a wide range of sources, including the Bible, the writings of the early church fathers, and the works of contemporary theologians and philosophers. He also provides numerous examples of how the principles of the Second Reformation have been put into practice in various churches and communities around the world. Overall, The Second Reformation: Or Christianity Developed is a thought-provoking and insightful work that offers a fresh perspective on the history and meaning of Christianity. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of religion, theology, or philosophy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
