This book charts the profound changes in British Christianity over the last century. It does so through the medium of diverse local case-studies, based on high quality new research. The ethnic diversification of British churches in the last fifty years is a key theme of the volume. Overall, the chapters show how secularization has had different trajectories in different parts of the country. Alongside this, the book charts the surprising desecularisation of parts of Britain in recent decades.
“The editors of this book summarize the picture that they believe emerges from the 12 detailed studies it assembles … . One of the strengths of this collection is the variety of its components, in locations chosen and methodologies adopted … . I was left, however, both with a chastened sense of the complexities involved in making generalizations about the trajectory of Christian faith in Britain … .” (Jeremy Worthen, The Living Church, July 20, 2025)
