{"product_id":"2940170069569","title":"The Year of Our Lord 1943: Christian Humanism in an Age of Crisis","description":"\u003cp\u003eBy early 1943, it had become increasingly clear that the Allies would win the Second World War. Around the same time, it also became increasingly clear to many Christian intellectuals on both sides of the Atlantic that the soon-to-be-victorious nations were not culturally or morally prepared for their success. A war won by technological superiority merely laid the groundwork for a post-war society governed by technocrats. These Christian intellectualsamp;mdash;Jacques Maritain, T. S. Eliot, C. S. Lewis, W. H. Auden, and Simone Weil, among othersamp;mdash;sought both to articulate a sober and reflective critique of their own culture and to outline a plan for the moral and spiritual regeneration of their countries in the post-war world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this book, Alan Jacobs explores the poems, novels, essays, reviews, and lectures of these five central figures, in which they presented, with great imaginative energy and force, pictures of the very different paths now set before the Western democracies. \u003ci\u003eThe Year of Our Lord 1943\u003c\/i\u003e is the first book to weave together the ideas of these five intellectuals and shows why, in a time of unprecedented total war, they all thought it vital to restore Christianity to a leading role in the renewal of the Western democracies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HighBridge Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47150433698032,"sku":"2940170069569","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940170069569_p0.jpg?v=1763701156","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940170069569","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
