Der erste Band versammelt annähernd 200 Briefe aus den ersten sechs Jahren nach der Gründung des Geheimbunds. Er lässt erkennen, von welchen internen Konflikten das stürmische Wachstum der Organisation in dieser Phase begleitet war. Besonders aufschlussreich sind die zahlreichen erstmals gedruckten Schreiben des Freiherrn Adolph von Knigge an den Ordensgeneral Adam Weishaupt. Sie zeugen von dem Bemühen um die Konzeption einer illuminatischen Lehre einerseits, von der erfolgreichen Unterwanderung der deutschen Freimaurerei andererseits. Sämtliche hier erschlossenen Quellen waren bisher entweder unpubliziert oder nur in unkommentierten Editionen zugänglich. Das Verständnis der Spätaufklärung in Deutschland werden sie wesentlich befördern.

Who set the mysterious fire that burned down much of New York City shortly after the British took the city during the Revolutionary War?
New York City, the strategic center of the Revolutionary War, was the most important place in North America in 1776. That summer, an unruly rebel army under George Washington repeatedly threatened to burn the city rather than let the British take it. Shortly after the Crown’s forces took New York City, much of it mysteriously burned to the ground.
This is the first book to fully explore the Great Fire of 1776 and why its origins remained a mystery even after the British investigated it in 1776 and 1783. Uncovering stories of espionage, terror, and radicalism, Benjamin L. Carp paints a vivid picture of the chaos, passions, and unresolved tragedies that define a historical moment we usually associate with "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."

Author: Andrew Wilson
Narrator: Andrew Wilson

How 7 Transformational Events in 1776 Paved the Way for Today’s Post-Christian West. With dizzying social transformations in everything from gender to social justice, it may seem like there’s never been a more tumultuous period in history. But a single year in the late 18th century saw a number of influential transformations-or even revolutions-that changed the social trajectory of the Western world. By understanding how those events influenced today’s cultural landscape, Christians can more effectively bear witness to God’s truth in a post-Christian age. In Remaking the World, Andrew Wilson highlights 7 major developments from the year 1776-globalization, the Enlightenment, the Industrial Revolution, the Great Enrichment, the American Revolution, the rise of post-Christianity, and the dawn of Romanticism-and explains their relevance to social changes happening today.
