The Realm: An Unfashionable Essay on the Conversion of England
Aidan Nichols OP

In this, his latest book, Fr. Aidan Nichols tackles the current issues of church and state, religion and society, and what mission might mean today. He argues that any hope of converting our increasingly secular society has to be led and underpinned by a profound change in our culture.

This is about more than art and literature; it encompasses every aspect of our lives and our country, from individual virtue to public law. Nichols calls for the recovery of a distinct Catholic identity and a confident faith which seeks to provide a common purpose for the realm, rather than being diffident or subsumed into the wider secular culture. He describes how Catholic Christianity provides the best foundation for the culture of an England re-made. A challenging and compelling book.
