This valuable contribution to the debate about the relation of religion to the modern city fills an important gap in the historiography of early nineteenth-century religious life. Although there is some evidence that strict doctrine led to a more restricted response to urban problems, extensive local and personal variations mean that simple generalizations should be avoided. Ian J.Shaw argues against earlier prejudiced views and shows that high Calvinists played a vigorous and successful part in the response of early nineteenth-century churches to the process of urbanization. The study includes six substantial case studies of ministers and their churches in Manchester and London. Four high Calvinist ministers are considered, with two studies of ministers holding to an evangelical Calvinist doctrine also included to provide instructive contrasts. Detailed social analysis of the congregations is based upon extensive use of manuscript and printed sources, sermons, and local and denominational press.

The formation of the modern world amidst a time of empire, upheaval, revolution, and war. Political, social, economic, and religious transformation took place, which dramatically affected society at large and in turn the years that followed.

How the French Revolution toppled a monarchy and changed the relationship between church and state. How the European enlightenment accompanied the decline of the church along with emerging movements in Germany, the urbanisation of England after the industrial revolution and the rise in Christian socialism. The results of the American civil war and the moral initiatives which resulted in the abolition of slavery, while the struggles with racism and anti–Semitism continued.

Meanwhile there is an explosion in oversees missionary work with the likes of David Livingstone in Africa, Hudson Taylor in China, and William Carey in India. And finally, the setting of the scene for the arrival of World War One.
