{"product_id":"this-is-your-hour-john-carter-wood-9781526152565","title":"This Is Your Hour: Christian Intellectuals in Britain and the Crisis of Europe, 1937-49","description":"In the 1930s and 1940s - amid the crises of totalitarianism, war and a perceived cultural collapse in the democratic West - a high-profile group of mostly Christian intellectuals met to map out 'middle ways' through the 'age of extremes'. Led by the missionary and ecumenist Joseph H. Oldham, the group included prominent writers, thinkers and activists such as T. S. Eliot, John Middleton Murry, Karl Mannheim, John Baillie, Alec Vidler, H. A. Hodges, Christopher Dawson, Kathleen Bliss and Michael Polanyi. The 'Oldham group' saw faith as a uniquely powerful resource for social and cultural renewal, and it represents a fascinating case study of efforts to renew freedom in a dramatic confrontation with totalitarianism. The group's story will appeal to those interested in the cultural history of the Second World War and the issue of applying faith to the 'modern' social order.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Carter Wood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1526152568\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781526152565\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.99lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.67d","brand":"John Carter Wood","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43942661685503,"sku":"9781526152565","price":30.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_bef5a685-c2c6-40ec-902b-4670d63f46b2.jpg?v=1681493634","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/this-is-your-hour-john-carter-wood-9781526152565","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
