Book excerpt: Europe in the nineteenth century saw spectacular growth in the size and number of cities and in the proportion of the population living in urban areas.

This book, written by an international team of specialists, provides an authoritative account of religious change, both at the institutional and popular level, in Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox cities, in seven European countries.
