Description
British Gods: Religion in Modern Britain by Steve Bruce Over the last fifty years, the role of religion in British society has undergone significant changes. This book examines how the status and nature of religion have evolved, drawing on detailed data from community studies conducted in the 1950s and 1960s. By revisiting these towns and villages, Steve Bruce charts the quantifiable changes in religious interest and observance. Bruce explores the broader picture of religion today, considering topics such as the impact of secularism, links between religion and violence, and the ways that local social structures influence religious practice. He also examines the obstacles to any potential religious revival, including the depletion of religious knowledge and the scarcity of committed believers.
