- Summary:
- Hailed by one reviewer as 'the most useful survey of recent English church history available', The Making of the Modern Church has established itself as a reliable and readable introduction for students and general readers alike. In this third edition, extensive additions and revisions have been made to material on biblical criticism, Roman Catholicism since the Second Vatican Council, the ecumentical movement and the changing status of women. A new and substantial chapter gives an overview of Faith in the City, large-scale missions, the Alpha course, modernity and the post-modern, the New Age movement, and the latest developments in the churches and in liturgy.
