Part I. Providing the Means: 1. The environment and its constraints: economic revolution, social transformation and spatial evolution 2. The many houses of God: churches, church-building and church extension in the industrial town 3. The burden shared: the changing political economy of religious organisations Part II. Drawing in the People: 4. The unfolding of the associational ideal: auxiliary organisations and ambitious societies 5. Learning advanced: the Sunday School Movement, pedagogical innovation and the theory of juvenile religious development 6. Salvation extended: conversion, revivals and the unending mission to the people Part III. The Trials of the Religious Life: 7. Worship exalted and experience eclipsed: liturgical orderliness, dutiful observance and the making of a modern Christian witness 8. Christianity within and beyond the churches: the pattern of devotion and the authenticity of expression 9. The forward march of the Christian churches halted? Organisational stasis and the crisis of the associational ideal in early twentieth-century religious institutions Conclusion Bibliography.
