Informationen zum Autor Doreen Rosman taught history at the University of Kent, Canterbury, UK, from 1974 to 2001. She is the author of The Evolution of the English Churches 1500-2000 (Cambridge University Press, 2003). Klappentext Unlike general histories that concentrate on church leaders, this study focuses upon the lives of ordinary English church-goers and the local clergy who ministered to them from the Reformation to the present. Doreen Rosman traces changes in church life, charting the emergence of distinctive characteristics among different denominations. She emphasizes recent developments by examining the growth of new independent churches in the late twentieth century. Inhaltsverzeichnis Preface; 1. Buildings, beliefs and community life; 2.
