Europe in the nineteenth century saw spectacular growth in the size and number of cities and in the proportion of the population living in urban areas. Many contemporaries thought that this social revolution would bring about an equally dramatic change in religious life. This book, written by an international team of specialists, provides an authoritative account of religious change, both at the institutional and popular level, in Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox cities, in seven European countries.

“This monograph is an important contribution to our understanding of the varied fortunes of British Christianity during the twentieth century.” - Rev Dr Andrew Atherstone, Tutor in Church History and Latimer Research Fellow, Wycliffe Hall, University of Oxford, UK “This book is an important and original work. Anyone interested in twentieth-century Christianity in Britain will learn much from it. Grant Masom enables the reader to make sense of the new urban spaces that became a key part of British life in the last hundred years.” - Rev Dr David Goodhew, Visiting Fellow of St Johns College, Durham University, UK “This ground breaking study adds new depth to our understanding of the importance of religion in English life and the role of the churches in shaping their own destiny in the first three-quarters of the twentieth century.” - Dr Mark Smith, Associate Professor in History, University of Oxford, UK This book contributes to the ongoing academic debates on secularisation—or the marginalisation of mainstream religious beliefs and practices—in twentieth-century British society. It addresses three areas in which the current literature is weak: the ‘agency’ of organised religion in the outcomes described as secularisation, rather than explanations based on external challenges (such as the ‘modernisation’ of society and thought, increased affluence, and more leisure choices); a focus on urban areas transformed by twentieth-century industrialisation and suburbanisation; and an extended time period to the end of the third quarter of the twentieth century, allowing proper consideration of long-term trends alongside short-term upheavals such as the World Wars, the Great Depression, and the social changes of the 1960s. Further, the book employs a distinctly different, highly data-driven approach, considers all religious movements, and sets its conclusions within the wider social and cultural context of a representative community.

Long description: Die Vorstellung von einheitlicher Frömmigkeit und Glaubenspraxis im konfessionellen Zeitalter wird seit einiger Zeit kritisch hinterfragt. Zunehmend wird der Blick auch auf unkonfessionelle oder religiös indifferente Phänomene gerichtet. Dabei gilt den Vereinigten Herzogtümern Jülich-Kleve-Berg schon länger das Interesse der Forschung, wurde doch hier im 16. Jahrhundert für mehrere Jahrzehnte versucht, in Anlehnung an die Theologie des Humanisten Erasmus von Rotterdam und seiner Anhänger eine eigenständige Reform des Kirchenwesens zwischen Rom und Wittenberg durchzusetzen. Die Studie geht der Frage nach, inwieweit eine solche landesherrliche Kirchenpolitik in Verbindung mit humanistischen Frömmigkeits- und Bildungsidealen auch von den Verantwortlichen in den Städten rezipiert wurde. Dabei stehen die drei Städte Dortmund, Essen und Bielefeld im Mittelpunkt der Untersuchung. Nach einer Skizzierung der erasmischen Theologie und der territorialen Religionspolitik wird der Blick zunächst auf die städtische Gelehrtenwelt gerichtet: Welche Rolle spielten städtische Schulen? Wie erfolgte ihre Gründung? Wurde auf die religiöse Erziehung der Jugend konfessionell eingewirkt? Wie wurden humanistische Ideale auch außerhalb der Schule vermittelt? Der zweite Teil der Untersuchung widmet sich den Möglichkeiten und Grenzen von Reformen im Kirchen- und Gerichtswesen: Wie wurden Konflikte zwischen Laien und Klerikern beigelegt? Welche Bedeutung kam den Änderungen bei der Formulierung von Eiden zu? Und schließlich: Wie sind die Einführung des Laienkelchs im Abendmahl und des volkssprachigen Gemeindegesangs im Gottesdienst sowie die Abschaffung bzw. Eingrenzung religiöser Frömmigkeitspraktiken und kirchlicher Bräuche einzuordnen?

"This book delves into the complex relationship between religious imaginaries and the perception of space among followers of Candomblé and Pentecostal churches in Belo Horizonte, Brazil's third-largest urban agglomeration. It adopts a dual perspective, examining the broader political, economic, and social dimensions of these religious communities' urbanisation and spatial distribution and their members' individual beliefs and behaviours. Through this approach, the book aims to provide a nuanced and insider's view of these religious positions, challenging our preconceived notions of urban spaces and contributing to the larger discussion of decolonial urban theory and spatialised post-secular thought. This transdisciplinary book will appeal to a broad range of researchers, particularly those interested in urban and religious studies. Its strong spatial perspective makes it attractive to architects and urban designers. It will be of interest to those in human geography, urban planning, design, architecture, political science, religious studies and culture studies"--
