The volume recovers a twofold process in which the growth of progressive ideas\u003cbr\u003eof history transformed British Protestant traditions, as religious debate, in turn, profoundly shaped Victorian ideas of history. It adopts a remarkably wide contextual perspective, embracing believers and unbelievers, Anglicans and nonconformists, and writers from different parts of the British\u003cbr\u003eIsles, fully situating British debates in relation to their European and especially German Idealist surroundings. The Victorian intellectual mainstream came to terms with religious diversity, changing ethical sensibilities, and new kinds of knowledge by encouraging providential, spiritualized, and\u003cbr\u003edevelopmental understandings of human time. A secular counter-culture simultaneously disturbed this complex consensus, grounding progress in appeals to scientific advances and the retreat of metaphysics. \u003cem\u003eGod and Progress\u003c\/em\u003e thus explores the ways in which divisions within British liberalism were\u003cbr\u003efundamentally related to differences over the past, present, and future of religion. It also demonstrates that religious debate powered the process by which historicism acquired cultural authority in Victorian national life, and later began to lose it. The study reconstructs the ways in which\u003cbr\u003etheological dynamics, often relegated to the margins of nineteenth-century British intellectual history, effectively forged its leading patterns.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joshua Bennett\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/06\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 5.70w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198837725\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJoshua Bennett, \u003cem\u003eJunior Research Fellow in History, Christ Church, Oxford\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJoshua Bennett read for undergraduate and graduate degrees in History at Christ Church, University of Oxford, from 2007 to 2015, where his Master's and doctoral work was supported by the Arts and Humanities Research Council.
