The book documents the roots of Christianity in Montréal while focusing on the present experience of Christians across the Census Metropolitan Area of 4.3 million residents.
Written by a scholar who has lived in Montréal for over 40 years, this book takes an interdisciplinary approach including archival, historical, urban, ethnographic, cultural studies and community development methodologies, to illustrate the emergence and resilience of Christianity in Montréal into the present-day secular age.
Coverage includes:
- The indigenous roots of Montréal and what Christianity looks like the among the city's indigenous peoples
- "The Quiet Revolution" of intense socio-political and socio-cultural change in French Canada from 1960
- Immigration since the 1960s and the resulting ethnic diversity of Churches
The book includes interviews with leading figures from Montreal as well as lay people from various traditions. Short interludes between chapters bring to life key information about Montreal, including "Who are the Québécois", and the national sport or "religion" of Canada, hockey.
