Surveys confirm that only a minority of people in a country such as Britain now claim Christian allegiance. The pattern is being matched in neighbouring societies. At the same time many opinion formers preach secularist ideology with a self-confidence shading into dogmatism. Others, unsure of their moorings, feel some residual attachment to spirituality, while being sceptical about the existence of God and other articles of belief. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Yet church teaching remains intellectually robust, as well as inspiring a transformative global presence. In this major and wide-ranging international study - both a report on the unsettling consequences of secularisation and a defence of a creed too often belittled by its opponents - Rupert Shortt outlines Christianity's fading profile in the present, but also argues compellingly that Europe's historic faith remains critical to the survival of a humane culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rupert Shortt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1399802755\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781399802758\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hodder Faith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/06\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.75h x 5.00w x 1.04d","brand":"Rupert Shortt","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47611674198271,"sku":"9781399802758","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ce41cd24-7ed6-4d0c-93f8-9db1c5c69a7f.jpg?v=1764515319","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-eclipse-of-christianity-rupert-shortt-9781399802758","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
