PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
When the 19th century opened in Britain and the United States, it would not have been unusual to think that mainstream Christianity had made its peace with eighteenth-century rationalism and Enlightenment thought. The nineteenth century, instead, was punctuated by economic, social, and intellectual events that birthed two powerful waves of evangelical revival, waves that in turn sparked highly influential religious and secular responses of a rationalist, philosophically organicist, or countercultural character.

REVIEWS
“The scope of this digitization project makes it a significant research resource for both scholars and undergraduates. There are several benefits to this scope: the sheer size of the collections; the geographic range including comparative materials from various cultures; and the variety of types of documents including a significant amount of unpublished material . . . . The new platform tools developed for NCCO are impressive and should be useful to scholars as well as students. These include the browse features for 'Exploring Collections,' the search within results features, text analysis tools, and sophisticated image viewing tools.”
“The British Library is delighted to be partnering with Gale Cengage Learning to provide access to some of our rare and unique holdings from the 19th Century via the innovative Nineteenth Century Collections Online platform. NCCO's options for search and navigation through rich content from many libraries and archives opens up some of our vast collections in ways never possible before.”
