Religion and the development of an urban society: Glasgow 1780-1914

religion, urban development, secularisation, Glasgow, urban history, urban society

Historians' investigations of the social history of religion in modern industrial society have tended to view religion pragmatically: religion as a church or as the churches, as a factor in education, social movements and local government, and as a means for expressing social division. Sociologists have tended to dominate in the construction of "overviews" of the social history of religion. This study seeks to contribute to the historiography of modern religion and, in particular, secularisation.
