Overview
This single-volume history of Canadian Christianity, intended for students and general readers as well as specialists, surveys major religious developments from the perspective of recent scholarship. While tracing the institutional development of churches, it focuses on five recurring themes; relations between church and state; missionaries and prospective converts; interdenominational relations; lay religious practices and outlook; and the impact of Christianity on Canadian society and culture.

Well-researched and carefully wrought...useful for its detailed, interpretive focus on the evolution of Canadian ecclesiastical institutions and their leaders... Journal of Church and State<br> The research is intense, the writing is pithy, and the impact on the reader is beyond what one author could fabricate. I recommend this volume to interested readers as it will be a standard book on the shelves of universities, schools, and private libraries for a considerable time to come. --The Catholic Historical Review<br>
