The Twilight of the American Enlightenment: The 1950s and the Crisis of Liberal Belief

The Twilight of the American Enlightenment is a groundbreaking book that sheds light on America's spiritual reawakening in the aftermath of World War II.

Award-winning historian George M.

Marsden provides a comprehensive and compelling account of how postwar Americans looked to their secular, liberal elites for guidance but were left disappointed.

This failure led to a Christian revival that offered America a firm new moral vision - one rooted in the Protestant values of the founders.

With piercing insight and elegance, Marsden anatomizes the mind of 1950s America, providing a gripping narrative that is both morally convicting and compulsively readable.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the spiritual and cultural shifts that defined America's postwar era.
