On this episode of History’s Hook, hosts Tom Price and Dr. Barry Gidcomb discuss one of the great transformative movements in 19th century America…the Second Great Awakening. This movement brought about a serious upswing in religious thought in America following the Revolutionary War. From this religious awakening came a dramatic increase in membership to various church denominations as well as the genesis of a number of new denominations. The effects of the Second Great Awakening spanned the North American continent and crossed-over into new social and political reforms that helped shape American society. Tom and Barry are joined by Father Chris Bowhay, host of the live radio show “The Circle Unbroken.”
