Routledge - The Death of Christian Britain (2nd Edition)

Explore a new perspective on British history with The Death of Christian Britain. In this expanded second edition, Callum Brown challenges traditional views on how religious culture changed in the United Kingdom. While many scholars suggest secularization was a slow process starting with the Industrial Revolution, Brown argues that a sudden and major cultural revolution occurred starting in the 1960s. This book moves beyond simple statistics by using gender analysis and personal voices to understand how society shifted. Instead of just counting church attendance, the author looks at the actual lived experiences of people to provide new ideas about religion and secularization. It is an essential read for those studying the history of Great Britain and the social changes that shaped the modern world. This edition includes updated responses to academic commentary, making it a comprehensive resource for students and historians alike.
