enthusiasm  

Definition

  • Enthusiasm entered the English political vocabulary in the seventeenth century, a period of intense religious and political turmoil marked by the English Civil War (1642–1651), the Protectorate of Oliver Cromwell (1653–1658), and, finally, the achievement of political stability following the Glorious Revolution of 1688. In left-wing Protestant or Puritan theology, enthusiasm was a second manifestation of conversion through baptism in the Holy Spirit by the infusion of revelatory grace.
