The Church of the Revolutionary Age: Facing New Destinies is the eighth installment in Henri Daniel-Rops' History of the Church of Christ. This volume focuses on major events in personality, intellectual history, and evangelization: (1) The great pontificate of Pius IX, contrasting total temporal defeat (loss of the Papal States) with spiritual triumph-the rebuke of modern errors, the dogma of the Immaculate Conception, and the convocation of the First Vatican Council. (2) The rise of irreligion in the form of scientific rationalism, its assaults on the Church's basic teachings about the human person and release of new "gospels" like evolutionism and socialism. (3) The fruitful renewal of missionary efforts in North America, Asia, and Africa. (4) The "world that Christ makes visible"-the Church as the instrument of sanctification for history, and saints such as the Curé d'Ars, Newman, and John Bosco as assurances (among others) of that fact. The epoch of 1789 to 1870, which had opened with the fratricidal fanfare of revolution, saw the Church face a seemingly endless succession of perils. Presented in arresting detail and with dramatic flair by Daniel-Rops, the evidence of The Church of the Revolutionary Age: Facing New Destinies proves that those dangerous afflictions were "as pruning is to a tree." And thus pruned, "the Church in an age of revolution became a Church of sanctity."
