Religion and Public Doctrine in Modern England

More about the book

This concluding volume delves into three interconnected strands of thought: latitudinarianism, critiques of it from within Christian thought, and the perspectives of post-Christian thinkers. Cowling engages with notable figures such as Burke, Disraeli, and Tennyson in the first half, while the second half features influential thinkers like Darwin, Keynes, Orwell, and Leavis. Through these encounters, the work explores the evolving relevance and challenges of Christianity in modern thought.
