The Span of the Cross: Christian Religion and Society in Wales, 1914-2000
No Customer Reviews
The Span of the Cross is the first full-length study of the history of Christianity in twentieth-century Wales, a period that saw the trauma of two world wars, economic depression, political change, and increasingly secular attitudes. Beginning with a description of religion and its place in society in 1914, the book assesses the effect of the Great War on people's spiritual convictions and practices. Further discussions include the state of the disestablished church in Wales, the interwar crisis of nonconformity, the churches' response to economic dislocation, and the role of religion in the twenty-first century. This edition includes a new introduction by the author.
