A detailed and well-researched work of South African religious history, Catholics in Natal II 1886-1925 by J. B. Brain explores the growth, challenges, and influence of the Catholic Church in the Natal region during a pivotal period of social and political change. Published by the Archdiocese of Durban, this scholarly volume continues Brain's respected historical survey, drawing on archival sources to document missions, clergy, local communities, and the wider development of Catholicism in KwaZulu-Natal.
Rich in historical context, the book provides valuable insight into colonial Natal, missionary expansion, and the evolving relationship between church and society. A sought-after reference for collectors of Natal history, South African church history, and regional historical studies, it remains an important resource for historians, researchers, and serious collectors alike.
Ideal for readers interested in ecclesiastical history, missionary history, and the broader narrative of Christianity's role in southern Africa during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
Paperback with covers showing noticeable shelf wear and handling marks, particularly along and near the spine where the paper has become dirtied from use. Edges display general age-related wear consistent with a well-read copy. Internally a prior ownership sticker is present on the endpaper, and mild foxing is noted, but the text remains clear and fully legible. Binding remains sound and all pages are present.
