Season 2, Episode 1 This presentation explores the trajectory of and motives for the shift in the church's discourse between the two world wars (1919-1939). The presentation demonstrates that the shift in perspective was a result of a number of influences, a primary one being the unprecedented and traumatic losses experienced during the Great War. The familiar rhetoric of war simply could not stand in the face of such losses. Professor Gordon Heath is Professor of Christian History and Centenary Chair in World Christianity at McMaster Divinity College in Hamilton, Ontario. Among his published titles are Doing Church History: A User-friendly Introduction to Researching the History of Christianity (2008), and A War with a Silver Lining: Canadian Protestant Churches and the South African War, 1899-1902 (2009).
