The feel-good place to buy books
A History of Religion in Britain by Sheridan Gilley
This book is the first one volume history of religious belief and practice in England, Wales and Scotland. It covers the period from Roman times to the present and has been written by twenty-three scholars, all writing accessibly for a wide readership.
"The syllabus requirements for religious education in schools, and the appetites of TV programme-makers, are increasingly emphasising the place of religion as part of the general cultural inheritanceThis is a book which will be a valued resource for their interests. But it is also a collection from which Christians themselves will derive insights into a religion which is inherently historical. This collection is impressive in the quality of the essays. There are some really outstanding contributions to interpretation here." Church Times
"With suggestions for further reading and a chronology which itself runs to ten pages, this is as complete a single-volume history of the subject as one would wish to have. One ends the book wishing to applaud, and not merely because the Editors' aims have been brilliantly achieved." Chesterton Review
"It provides a very welcome series of scholarly insights which will be of substantial value to the church historian." EHR
