Description
Written by 23 leading scholars, this one-volume history of religious belief and practice in England, Wales and Scotland covers the period from pre-Roman times to the present. Its focus is on the worship and the beliefs of the British peoples, the questions which exercised them, and the degree to which belief and practice were changed by institutional reforms and upheavals in church or state. Christianity occupies the greater part of the book, but considerable space is devoted to pre-Christian and non-Christian beliefs, in particular Judaism and Islam.
