Fantastic allegorical map, depicting the darkness and despair of Industrial England and the path to salvation and opportunity in the world beyond.
The history of the Salvation Army began in 1865, when William Booth established an evangelical and philanthropic organization to preach salvation from sins and propagate purity of life among the poor and destitute people of London's East End. William Booth and his wife Catherine Mumford Booth, who grew up in the most turbulent time of the Industrial Revolution, believed that evangelical work among the poor must be accompanied by well-organized social relief work.
The Salvation Army, founded by William and Catherine Booth, aimed to continue the tradition of socially committed evangelicalism, which dated back to John Wesley's Methodism and American revivalism propagated by James Caughey. Booths' dogma was John Wesley's Arminian theology of "free salvation for all men and full salvation from all sin."
