"Faith-based organisations and exclusion in European cities is an anthology that is geared especially for those interested in learning about the concepts and practices of FBOs throughout Europe (and how what can be learned from them may be generalised in other regions), as well as those interested in advancing research in the field" - Journal of Poverty and Social Justice "Very accessible and well written...it will make a timely addition to libraries across Europe" Journal of Church and State "Social science can no longer ignore the power of faith and the faithful. Beaumont and Cloke's collection provides rich insight into the ways in which religion is remaking everyday life in European cities today." Jane Wills, Queen Mary, University of London
