Michael Tunnicliffe
The 19th century was a tumultuous one. It saw the rise of new denominations in England and America including various Methodist offshoots, the Salvation Army, Seventh Day Adventist, Jehovah’s Witnesses and Mormons. The Church of England struggled to cope with the rise of the high church Oxford Movement. Roman Catholics were given emancipation and the restoration of their bishops in England. All churches faced social issues created by the rapid growth of cities. The emergence of new scientific ideas, not least Darwin’s Theory of Evolution, and modern biblical criticism also contributed to a sense of unease in late 19th century society. This course explores this turbulent century from the Napoleonic Wars to the death of Queen Victoria.
