Book Synopsis
During the 1830s, the United States experienced a wave of movements for social change over temperance, the abolition of slavery, anti-vice activism, and a host of other moral reforms. This title argues that together they represented a distinctive style of mobilization. It is a revelatory account of how religion lay at the heart of social reform.

Trade Review
"In Bearing Witness against Sin, Michael Young offers a creative and insightful reconsideration of the specifically religious origins of the national social movement in America. This is a significant contribution to our understanding of the role of religion in politics and of the political capacities of religious traditions." - Christian Smith, author of American Evangelism: Embattled and Thriving"
