The Hallelujah Revolution: The Rise of the New Christians

From 1870 to 1970, Westerners lived in the world's first secular society. But now, in this post-industrial age of uncertainty, mysticism has re-invented itself. This book describes the religious revival currently sweeping the UK and Europe, which has its focus on miracles and visions. Ian Cotton gives the international context of a revival described by economist and historian Peter Drucker as "the most significant event of the century". Illustrating his story with case histories, and outlining the phenomenon's relationship with broader 20th-century trends such as irrationalism and '60s counter culture, Cotton moves from tales of ecstacy-induced conversions to the cutting edge of neuroscience.
