Publisher's Synopsis
The Religion of Revolution is a book by Herbert S. Bigelow that explores the relationship between religion and revolution. The author argues that revolutions throughout history have been driven by religious beliefs and that religion has played a crucial role in shaping the course of these events. Bigelow examines the religious roots of revolutions, including the Protestant Reformation, the French Revolution, and the American Revolution, and shows how these movements were fueled by religious principles and ideals. He also explores the impact of revolutions on religion, including the rise of secularism and the decline of traditional religious institutions. The book provides a thought-provoking analysis of the complex relationship between religion and revolution and offers insights into the role of religion in shaping the course of human history.1916.
