Book Promotion
- Why has the church become so marginalized and inconsequential today in our culture?
- What must happen for it to reclaim the influence it once had?
In Christendom Awake, a renowned Catholic theologian argues that if the Church is to again become
a vital social force, it must regain confidence in its ability to transform daily life. This leading British theologian
argues that the Church must regain confidence in its doctrine to shape and influence philosophy, ethics, aesthetics,
economics, gender relations, and the forms of the State. Written from a position of 'radical traditionalism', and
situated in the mainstream of contemporary Roman Catholicism, Aidan Nichols, calls on the Church to recover its
perspective and relaunch its creative mission in the new millennium.
Aidan Nichols OP is the Prior of the Dominican Community at Blackfriars in Cambridge and the author of numerous
works of theology and Church History
