'For most of the history of Britain, [the Church] was so bound into culture, values and beliefs that it would have made little sense for people to see it as anything other than the overarching framework in which they interpreted the world. It formed, then, something like a sort of 'common sense' that lurked in the background of all of the decisions they had to make, the experiences they had, and the encounters that one way or another affected their lives ... That is precisely how we have to see the history of religion: it's not separable from the rest of human society, but woven in and through it' - Preface
