Opis

This book focuses on the Jesus of the popular Christian culture shared by not only church-, kirk-, and chapel-goers, but also the growing numbers of Britons who rarely or only episodically entered a house of worship from the 1850s through the 1950s, . It is ideal for scholars of British Christianity in the 19th and 20th centuries.
