Through an exploration of church statistics, public opinion surveys, and other quantitative data, he attempts to construct the most comprehensive picture yet of the statistical evidence for religious change between the early 1960s and the late 1970s...That all this data is marshalled for the first time within a single, comprehensive and meticulously footnoted volume is reason enough to recommend this as a must-read book for anyone researching religious change in post-war Britain. However, it does more. ...the book also works well as an account of the changing ways in which individuals and organizations in the long 1960s thought about religion and tried to count it. Even as a specialist on this period I learned a great deal. * Ian Jones, Reading Religion *
