Movement 2. Solus Jesus
Lecture 7. Solus Jesus: Jesus and the Second Great Awakening (Part 1)
After 1800 in America, Jesus came to dominate the Trinity. The proximate cause of Jesus' new centrality was the Second Great Awakening created in the laboratory of the American Frontier and fueled by the democratic thrust of the American Revolution. Democracy and the frontier spawned increased focus on constitutionally defined social and political relations and the development of new forms of religious organization, notably the religious denomination and the camp meeting.
