'Spirituality and the Occult is a valuable work of interest to
historians, specialists in religious studies, and those interested
in the history of ideas ...' - Vivianne Crowley, Journal of
Contemporary Religion
'... a compelling and evocative picture of the world we have lost
... The book is a study in contrasts and as such offers one of the
most uncompromising depictions of present-day secularisation to
appear in a scholarly work. The Death of Christian Britain is a
fine and provoking work, one to excite both admiration and
dissent.' - David Voas, Journal of Contemporary Religion' ... this
succint, but rich and wide-ranging work ... opens up many new
important pathways.' - The Scientific and Medical Network
