THE DEVELOPMENT OF PLURALISM IN MODERN BRITAIN ...

Europe is increasingly multi-ethnic and multi-faith  as well as multi-cultural. Western
democracies now comprise a plurality of fundamental opinions and inherited cultures  it is not
clear how (or if!) they can be related to each other without involving either oppression or
anarchy. This debate requires historical understanding and a contemporary grasp of the points
at issue amongst different cultures. By virtue of their proximity and frequent historical
interaction  Britain and France lend themselves to comparative study. The studies in this
volume collectively demonstrate that the affairs of religious minorities in these two countries
were not only of concern to themselves and their national established churches. Rather  over a
long-term period  they had a sustained impact on many other issues. All chapters illustrate the
problematic shift from a persecutory to a pluralistic mentality.
