Victorian Religion

An example of religious jewellery in the Victorian Age


A vignette of Charles Darwin, the father of religious doubt
-       Victorian era is often considered a prudent age. The Religion of the time was the exact opposite, it was the first time British theologians began to voice their views and explore alternate ideas.  Theologians like John Henry Newman were the forefront of this new thinking. Through this change, history saw a rise of doubt and agnosticism within the religious views of this era challenging religious truth through Darwin’s theories and more scientific evidence being brought forth.
