About This paperback (B format)
From the end of the 18th century, throughout Western Europe, the official clergy, champions of privilege and tradition, were challenged by religious dissenters and minorities. Chapel confronted church in Britain and Scandinavia; Catholics struggled against Protestants in Germany and Ireland. The war between the anti-clerical and Catholics in France and Spain reached its climax in the Spanish bloodbath of the 1930s.;This book maps out these polarizations and analyzes the impact on religion of socialism, capitalism and the growth of cities. It examines the contrasts between the religion of the middle and working classes, and between men and women. It also discusses the appeal of movements like Methodism, Secularism, and Ultramontane Catholicism, and considers the crisis faced by the churches in many countries in the 1960s.;A new concluding chapter examines the role of religion up to 1990, showing how it has been affected by modern changes in society and beliefs.
