To Walk the Earth Again

In To Walk the Earth Again, Christopher Trigg examines how Anglo-American Protestant beliefs in bodily resurrection from the seventeenth to mid-nineteenth centuries influenced ideas about community, identity, and the environment. By analyzing a diverse range of texts, including poetry, sermons, and scientific writings, the book reveals how these religious convictions shaped perspectives on political power, race, and mortality, offering new insights into the interconnectedness of early modern Protestant thought and societal developments.
