Description

This magisterial portrayal of English Christianity spans fourteen hundred years, tracing the development of the Christian faith in England from its earliest days to the present. Peter Ackroyd explores the lives and faith of key figures, including Venerable Bede, C.S. Lewis, Julian of Norwich, William Blake, and John Wesley, revealing the complex and often tumultuous history of English Christianity.

A comprehensive survey that acknowledges the influence of other faiths on England's religious sensibility, this book offers a nuanced understanding of the Christian English soul. From the Reformation to contemporary debates about tradition and revival, Ackroyd provides a rich and accessible account of England's enduring Christian heritage.
