First published in 1949, A History of Christianity in England is a
kaleidoscopic view of the religious situation in England for
readers and students who wish to eventually take it up as a serious
study. The author asserts that the influence of the Church and the
State in the development of the English national life and character
has also led to the growth of a unique English Christianity.
English religion appears neither completely Catholic, properly
Protestant nor consistently Liberal, rendering itself an enigma.
The author believes that the confusion of its various discordant
parts can be resolved by situating English Christianity within a
historical continuum. This book will be of interest to students of
theology, history and Christianity.
For good or ill, most, if not all, of the great institutions which
have formed the framework of society have had their roots in the
idea of Deity as a beneficent providential order of transcendental
reality. In being handed down through countless generations the
beliefs, concepts and customs have assumed a great variety of new
outward forms in the process of transmission and development. To
determine their true meaning and function as a cohesive force and
as an expression of ultimate reality, the comparative and
historical methods can be employed with considerable advantage.

study of religion.

In this book, first published in 1948, an attempt has been made to
provide an intelligible introduction to a somewhat complex aspect
of scientific inquiry. And secondly, to construct a background of
'primitive' ritual and belief against which the more developed
religions can be placed. This book is a valuable, early attempt at
explaining the beginnings of religion from a modern scientific
viewpoint.
