    About this ebook

    The changing relationship between the church and its supporters is key to understanding changing religious and social attitudes in Victorian Britain. Using the records of the Anglican Church’s home-missionary organizations, Flew charts the decline in Christian philanthropy and its connection to the growing secularization of society. This is a highly original contribution to two of the most widely debated issues in modern religious history and the sociology of religion.
