Review

"A wonderfully readable history and a liberating experience." Roger Bowen, St John′s College, Nottingham

"It will remain a valuable resource and a provocative challenge for years to come." The Tablet

"A Scholarly analysis from a sociological point of view of the religious situation in contemporary Britain, including aspects of secularization and the "believing without belonging" pattern". Missiology: An International Review, Vol. XXIII, No.3, July 1995

"A clear and penetrating analysis of many of the main contours of religion in modern Britain." Reviews in Religion

The Tablet

It will remain a valuable resource and a provocative challenge for years to come.

Inside This Book (Learn More)
First Sentence
We shall come back to these exchanges, whether verbal or cartooned, more than once in the following chapters, for they capture in a phrase or two the sense of paradox that must prevail in any discussion of religion in post-war Britain. Read the first page

Format:Paperback
If you want stats with useful commentary... this is it! Statistics on every aspect of Christianities ties with England... Church numbers, qty of churches and congregations, numbers of clergy, with some insightful text and well written notes on what it might mean, plus some commentary on why some of the decline of the Church of England has happened and quite the astonishing rate it has. All stats are broken down into sub-groups and denominations and presented over time since 1945.

There are some minimal statistics on non-Christian religions, but the bulk is about Christianity.
