This short history of Christianity in England since the close of the Middle Ages was first published for the Religious Book Club in 1953 It was immediately welcomed. The Church Times called it a miracle of accomplished comprehension', and the (Manchester) Guardian quite extraordinarily good'. The Times Educational Supplement commented on its 'abounding momentum and not a single dull page'. The author has now revised the book for this cheap edition, and an Epilogue continues the story of the English churches down to 1960.
