In nineteenth-century Britain, however, archaeology was enmeshed with questions of biblical authority and so with religious as well as narrowly scholarly concerns. In unearthing the cities of the Eastern Mediterranean, travellers, archaeologists and their popularisers transformed thinking on the truth of Christianity and its place in modern cities. This happened at a time when anxieties over the unprecedented rate of urbanisation in Britain coincided with critical challenges to biblical truth. In this context, cities from Jerusalem to Rome became contested models for the adaptation of Christianity to modern urban life. Using sites from across the biblical world, this book evokes the appeal of the ancient city to diverse groups of British Protestants in their arguments with one another and with their secular and Catholic rivals about the vitality of their faith in urban Britain. 606 $aArchaeology$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aMiddle East$xAntiquities 615 0$aArchaeology$xHistory 676 $a220.9/3094109034 686 $aSOC003000$2bisacsh 702 $aGange$b David 702 $aLedger-Lomas$b Michael 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910806833603321 996 $aCities of God$94041896 997 $aUNINA
