Christendom lasted for over a thousand years in Western Europe, and
we are still living in its shadow. For over two centuries this
social and religious order has been in decline. Enforced religious
unity has given way to increasing pluralism, and since 1960 this
process has spectacularly accelerated. In this 2003 book,
historians, sociologists and theologians from six countries answer
two central questions: what is the religious condition of Western
Europe at the start of the twenty-first century, and how and why
did Christendom decline? Beginning by overviewing the more recent
situation, the authors then go back into the past, tracing the
course of events in England, Ireland, France, Germany and the
Netherlands, and showing how the fate of Christendom is reflected
in changing attitudes to death and to technology, and in the
evolution of religious language. They reveal a pattern more complex
and ambiguous than many of the conventional narratives will admit.
