18th-century Christian movements

In the 18th century, Christian movements like the Great Awakening in America and similar revivals in Europe emphasized personal faith, emotional worship, and individual salvation. These movements spread rapidly, inspiring people to experience a more direct and personal relationship with God, often outside traditional church structures. They challenged established religious authority, encouraging a sense of renewal and moral reform. The emphasis on personal experience contributed to the growth of Protestant denominations and inspired social movements advocating for equality and charitable work. Overall, these movements sparked a wave of religious enthusiasm that shaped modern Christianity and societal attitudes.
