Produktbeschreibung

This book examines responses of a Christian intellectual group in 1930s and 1940s Britain to totalitarianism and war. Seeking 'middle ways' through what has been called the 'age of extremes', the group sought to apply faith to the social order, influence public opinion and inspire a social renewal in the years surrounding the Second World War. -- .
