The forces of modernity unleashed by the war had led to astonishing advances in daily life, but technology and mass culture also threatened to erode the country's traditional moral character. As award-winning historian George M. Marsden explains in The Twilight of the American Enlightenment, postwar Americans looked to the country's secular, liberal elites for guidance in this precarious time, but these intellectuals proved unable to articulate a coherent common cause by which America could chart its course. Their failure lost them the faith of their constituents, paving the way for a Christian revival that offered America a firm new moral vision-one rooted in the Protestant values of the founders. A groundbreaking reappraisal of the country's spiritual reawakening, The Twilight of the American Enlightenment shows how America found new purpose at the dawn of the Cold War."-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 651 0 $a United States $x Civilization $y 1945- 651 0 $a United States $x Social conditions $y 1945- 650 0 $a Cold War $x Social aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Alienation (Social psychology) $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Group identity $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a HISTORY / United States / 20th Century. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / Political Ideologies / Conservatism & Liberalism. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a RELIGION / Religion, Politics & State. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / Modern / 20th Century. $2 bisacsh 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191211022650.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826091914.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=662AA006BEE311E3B118CA8BDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
