Church Publishing, Inc., Jun 1, 1980 - Religion - 512 pages

A comprehensive history of the Christianity in Great Britain from the Roman Empire, through the Reformation and the 20th century.

This authoritative account of the Church in England covers its history from earliest times to the late twentieth century. Includes chapters on the Roman, Celtic, Anglo-Saxon, Norman, and Medieval periods before a description of the Reformation and its effects, the Stuart period, and the Industrial Age, with a final chapter on the modern church through 1972.
“[JRH Moorman’s]]] work has all the qualities of that rare achievement, a good textbook. It is written in a plain but eminently readable expository prose . . . a piece of authentic historical writing, in which the author communicates his interest to the reader without misleading him.”―The Times Educational Supplement
