Recenzii

'... there is no question, to my mind, but that David Nash opens up a number of fascinating lines of inquiry into the metaphysical and moral reasoning which runs through much modern British culture and history.' - Revd Dr Jeremy Morris, King's College, Cambridge, UK
'David Nash's Christian Ideals in British Culture: Stories of Belief in the Twentieth Century offers away past the increasingly stale secularization debate. Nash calls for a new agenda for future research, a religious history of highly contextual individual choices. It can only be hoped that historians will take up this challenge and continue to explore religious belief in twentieth-century Britain without relying on problematic metanarratives. This book will serve as a useful starting point in that endeavor.' Stephen Jackson - Journal of British Studies
