The Christian Church had to adapt to great changes-from the social upheavals of the Industrial Revolution, to the philosphical speculations of Kant's Copernican revolution, to Darwin's evolutionary theories. Some Christians were driven to panic and blind reaction; others were inspired to re-interpret their faith. The results of this conflict within the fabric of the Church are still reverberating today. In this masterly apprasial of a doubt-ridden and turbulent period in Christanity, Alec Vidler concludes with a discussion of the position of the church in modern times and expertly answers the question 'Has the Chruch stood up to the Age of Revolution?'
