In this illuminating study, Joseph Stuart reexamines the Enlightenment not simply as a clash between faith and reason, but as a complex encounter that reshaped both Church and society. Exploring figures who resisted, engaged, or strategically withdrew from the cultural upheavals of the age, he reveals how Christians employed distinct yet complementary approaches to preserve and renew the Faith. By recovering these time tested strategies of conflict, engagement, and retreat, this book offers wise guidance for cultivating a resilient, intellectually serious, and evangelically vibrant Christianity in our own unsettled era.
