Eternity in Time: Christopher Dawson and the Catholic Idea of History

by Stratford Caldecott (Editor)

This book examines the entire concept of a Catholic "idea" of history through the lasting achievement and continuing relevance of Christopher Dawson (1889-1970), one of the most influential Catholic historians of this century. Dawson's theories that religion provides the dynamic force within all social culture, and that the so-called "dark ages" were in many ways the most creative period in the history of the West, were demonstrated in a series of classic works that have never lost their appeal.
