In the modern period it is necessary to trace the rise of many attitudes towards life, many conceptions of the faith, and many ecclesiastical systems. And these have to be set against so complicated a background of general history that it is impossible to tell their story in a strictly chronological order. An effort has here been made to avoid any resultant confusion by the provision of a table of parallel dates which may help the reader to form a coherent picture of the whole period. Moreover, certain features of contemporary Church life have been deemed so important as to merit a distinctive historical account for themselves, and the growing friendliness between the English and East Churches has demanded a somewhat fuller treatment of Orthodoxy than is usually accorded to it in wroks of this kind. 314 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.) .
