Opis

During this century the Christian Churches of Britain have lost support and influence to the extent that their future is considered by some observers to be problematic. They have also been confronted with an unprecedented concentration of social changes, some of which have challenged central religious traditions and teachings. This multi-denominational study is the first to investigate these changes (public and private) across virtually the entire Christian spectrum.

Recenzje

Making good use of the religious press as well as of the Lambeth Palace Library, he [Machin] offers an accurate, detailed guide to the views and frequent defeats of the defenders of an ecclesiastically-based social ethic, and his work will be a very useful source of reference... a very useful study.
