Additional background features include: Awakening Church Timeline; What was the Awakening Church?; The Development of Church Music; An Era of Social Reform; Revolutions and Rebellions; A New Method of Missions; The Rise of Protestant Denominations; Other Christians of the Awakening Church; and The Beginnings of the Modern World.
