A pesquisa está centrada na identificação de linhas que articulam o pensamento teológico europeu e estadunidense nas décadas que compreendem a publicação de duas obras que, em certo sentido, representam a visão de uma teologia para o mundo, ou de uma perspectiva teológica secularizada. Trata-se das conhecidas obras de dois teólogos batistas estadunidenses: Uma teologia para o Evangelho Social, de Walter Rauschenbusch, publicada em 1917, e A Cidade do Homem, de Harvey Cox, de 1965. O objetivo é descrever fios condutores que atravessam a Teologia Liberal na virada para o século 20, da qual Rauschenbusch é um dos representantes, e chegam na formação do que se chamou Teologia da Secularização, de Harvey Cox e outros expoentes, com vistas à melhor compreensão do debate entre teologia e secularidade.

The Brotherhood of the Kingdom was organized in December, 1892, by a small group of converts to the ideal of the kingdom of God on earth who, not unmindful of the examples of St. Francis and of the Society of Jesus, planned to reestablish the idea of the kingdom “in the thought of the church and to assist in its practical realization in the world.” The year 1892 had witnessed a rising crescendo of social turbulence and political unrest throughout America. In the midwest the populist revolt was growing, while industrial warfare had broken out in the violent Homestead strike at the Carnegie steel plants. Jacob Riis had opened wide the festering tenements of the great cities in his revelation of How the Other Half Lives, while in intellectual circles the younger economists were rebelling against the tenets of the Manchester school. William Jennings Bryan's campaign for free silver was only four years away, and the Spanish–American War but six years in the future. Into such an atmosphere of storm and stress was born the Brotherhood of the Kingdom, dedicated to the realization of a spiritual ideal in the social order.

This chapter begins with an examination of the evangelical movement among African Americans, including the testimonies of ex-slaves and the spiritual autobiographies of George White and Jarena Lee. It then considers the role of conversion in the Second Great Awakening. Although there was no overarching unity to this awakening, the revival profoundly shaped an emerging generic Protestant evangelicalism. However, not all were pleased with this age of revivalism. John Williamson Nevin and Horace Bushnell, two products of the revival, eventually became its most vociferous critics and questioned the notion of instantaneous conversions. In the industrial age, Walter Rauschenbusch articulated a view of conversion as social reconstruction, and in the twentieth century, Billy Graham appeared as the charismatic champion of “born-again” religion. The chapter concludes with a discussion of young evangelicals who questioned the individualistic emphasis of evangelical conversion and of others who left the evangelical fold and converted to Catholicism or Orthodoxy.
