About this book

Britannia, Europa and Christendom brings to light the webs of influence linking Christian leaders and politicians and shows the conflicting relationships between national identity and Christian universalism, and between Britain as a one-time world power, a European nation, and junior partner in the 'transatlantic alliance'.

Reviews

'This scholarly historical analysis of a British Christian elite searching, amidst the ruins of Christendom, for a 'United Europe', from 1945 to the present, is at the same time a stimulating contribution to current debate about Europe's 'soul' (or lack of one).' - Keith Robbins, Professor Emeritus, University of Wales, Lampeter, UK

'There is no doubt that this book is timely and provocative and I have no hesitation in recommending it to all scholars with an interest in law, sociology, history and religion.' - Javier Oliva, Ecclesiastical History
