Charts the relationship between Christianity and social service in Britain since the eighteenth century. This study also presents a challenging interpretation of the links between Christian decline and democratic traditions.Review: Frank Prochaska has made an impressive contribution to late modern British history Andrew Chandler, Journal of Ecclesiastical History A thoroughly enjoyable book: a highly informative history and a refreshing polemic. Terry Philpot, The Tablet This is a well written book. Any future studies on the decline of Christianity in modern Britain should include Prochaska's argument. Andreas Whittam Smith, The Church Times The issues raised here could not be more important to the future of British democracy ... Each part of this thrilling analysis should disturb the dreary complacency now engulfing the debate on the future of British democracy. Frank Field, The Spectator ...A very welcome interpretive study... Jeremy Black, The Social Affairs Unit.
