Show Notes

This week we delve into a topic we've been promising to cover for some time, the Second Great Awakening. This was the religious movement in the United States that spawned the Mormons and Adventists as well as the evangelical factions of more mainline churches. It truly was a time when American Christianity came into its own. As always, though, we'll complicate things a bit and talk about the First Great Awakening and other religious movements before the founding of the United States.
