But a single year in the late 18th century saw a number of influential transformations--or even \u003cem\u003erevolutions\u003c\/em\u003e--that changed the social trajectory of the Western world. By understanding how those events influenced today's cultural landscape, Christians can more effectively bear witness to God's truth in a post-Christian age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eRemaking the World\u003c\/em\u003e, Andrew Wilson highlights 7 major developments from the year 1776--globalization, the Enlightenment, the Industrial Revolution, the Great Enrichment, the American Revolution, the rise of post-Christianity, and the dawn of Romanticism--and explains their relevance to social changes happening today. Carefully examining key documents and historical figures, Wilson demonstrates how a monumental number of political, philosophical, economic, and industrial changes in the year of America's founding shaped the modern West into a \"WEIRDER\" society: Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, Democratic, Ex-Christian, and Romantic. This thoroughly researched yet accessible book offers a unique historical perspective on modern views of family, government, religion, and morality--giving Christians the historical lens they need to understand today's post-Christian trends and respond accordingly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eRelevant Cultural and Historical Analysis: \u003c\/strong\u003e Skillfully connects key ideas and events from the past to the present \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eComprehensive: \u003c\/strong\u003e Examines important developments from 1776, including the American Revolution, Thomas Paine's \u003cem\u003eCommon Sense\u003c\/em\u003e, Edward Gibbon's \u003cem\u003eThe History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire\u003c\/em\u003e; James Watt's steam engine; Adam Smith's \u003cem\u003eWealth of Nations\u003c\/em\u003e; and Immanuel Kant's \u003cem\u003eCritique of Pure Reason\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eInformative: \u003c\/strong\u003e Covers key historical figures, including John Adams, Edmund Burke, and David Hume\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBiblical: \u003c\/strong\u003e Equips and encourages readers to share the gospel in a post-Christian world\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eA Great Resource for Pastors, Scholars, and Readers of Carl Trueman's \u003cem\u003eThe Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Andrew Wilson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40699178025009,"sku":"9781433580536","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0571\/9926\/3793\/files\/9781433580536.jpg?v=1780470897","url":"https:\/\/bakerbookhouse.com\/products\/9781433580536_remaking-the-world","provider":"Baker Book House ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
