Religion and Society in the Diocese of St Davids 1485-2011
«
"This edited collection is excellent, well introduced, and although there is no cumulative bibliography, it is well referenced throughout."
Judy Bailey, The University of Adelaide, Journal of the Australian and New Zealand Association for Medieval and Early Modern Studies
"Overall, this volume is a long overdue contribution to discussions of British religious culture, and a vital step in improving our understanding of the contributions of regional cultures to the overall national picture. Many of the surviving primary sources used by the authors are in the Welsh language, and are therefore translated and presented to the wider academic community for the first time through the chapters of this volume."

During the medieval and early modern periods the Welsh diocese of St Davids was one of the largest in the country and the most remote. This collection makes clear, that this combination of factors resulted in a religious life which was less regulated and controlled by the institutional forces of both Church and State. Les mer

’This is history at its best - it’s local yet set against the broad backdrop of national and international developments. It offers an impressive accumulation of detail without losing sight of the bigger picture. And its imposing range of contributors, under the watchful eye of its editors, avoid the usual jumpiness of such volumes and manage to produce a silky smooth text that is at once instructive and compelling.’ Lord Griffiths of Burry Port, Superintendent Minister of Wesley's Chapel, London, UK ’William Williams, the hymn writer, once compared the outbreak of the Methodist revival in the mid 1730s to the dawning of the sun after a long dark winter’s night. One hopes that Christians today will be inspired by this record of the success of the gospel in our diocese in previous generations, and pray that the same sun will shine once more upon us.’ Pobl Dewi
