Opis

Religion has long been a defining characteristic of Welsh identity, and this volume demonstrates the complicated relationship between religion and faith and Welsh national culture from the seventeenth century forward touching upon the Puritan period, the Older Dissent of the eighteenth century, nineteenth-century Nonconformity, and the impact of twentieth-century secularism. "Wales and the Word" stands apart from other volumes on Welsh religious history by offering new insights and previously untold histories alongside the overview of the story of Welsh religion."
