Christian Radicalism in the Church of England and the Invention of the British Sixties, 1957-1970

The Hope of a World Transformed

Beschreibung

This study shows that Britain's 1960s moral revolution was importantly influenced by currents within British Christianity - not that the Sixties were a popular revolt against the churches, but that revolts against convention within the churches were highly significant in allowing Britain's 'secular revolution' to gain its own momentum.
