Early 20th Century Religious Movements

Early 20th-century religious movements were diverse, reflecting societal changes and spiritual searches. They included the rise of Pentecostalism, emphasizing direct personal experiences with the Holy Spirit, and the growth of evangelical revivalism, emphasizing salvation and personal faith. The Social Gospel promoted applying Christian ethics to social justice issues. Meanwhile, new theological ideas challenged traditional doctrines, leading to movements like modernist Christianity. These movements often focused on personal spiritual renewal, social activism, and adapting religion to modern life, shaping the landscape of contemporary faith practices and religious thought.
