Religion in the Age of Decline

Klappentext
An original study of religion in late Victorian Britain and its apparent twentieth-century decline.

Zusammenfassung
In this cogent and original study, S. J. D. Green explains just why so many churches and chapels were built in late Victorian Britain, who built them, who went to them, and why, and offers a fresh interpretation of the extent and implications of the decline of religion in twentieth-century Britain.
