Unlike some general histories which concentrate on church leaders, it focuses upon the lives of ordinary churchgoers and of the local clergy who ministered to them." "The author traces changes in church life, charting the emergence and distinctive characteristics of different denominations. She gives full weight to recent developments, bringing the story up to date by examining the growth of new independent churches in the late twentieth century. The book will therefore be of value not only to students of church history but also to readers who want to understand the religious background of past societies. Churchgoers, curious about their heritage, and anyone interested in the changing role of religion in English life should find this account lucid and illuminating."--BOOK JACKET. |
