Religion and Society in Twentieth-Century Britain

This history of religion in British society in the 20th century tells of the collision between secularisation, religious militancy and the New Age.

·              Current world events have put religion back on the agenda

·              Lively and provocative, it is an easy to understand account of religion that doesn’t assume any prior knowledge

·              It will be bought by students studying modern British and religious history and will also be of interest to general readers

·              Illustrations bring the subject alive and annotations highlight interesting themes and views

·              One of the titles launching the new Longman Religion, Politics and Society in Britain series which examines religion in Britain from pre-Christian times to the end of the 20th century
