Publisher's Description

This is a print on demand book and is therefore non- returnable. Christendom, according to Malcolm Muggeridge, is something quite different than Christianity. Christ said his kingdom was not of this world; Christendom, on the other hand, is of this world and, like every other human creation, subject to decay and eventual desolation. In this book, Muggeridge perceptively explores the downfall of Christendom, indicating some of the contributing factors to its collapse.

“Drawing insights from Pascal, Dostoevsky, and Solzhenitsyn, Muggeridge supports his pessimism about human systems and the world order, while at the same time he expresses infinite confidence in the ultimate loving purposes of God. Mingling puckish wit with probing judgments, he goes to the heart of Western culture's sickness. Always the graceful stylist, Muggeridge is informative, stimulating, and delightful to read.”

Paul Bechtel

“A refreshing dose of realism . . . definitely worth reading.'”
