The End of Christendom

by Malcolm Muggeridge Narrated by Frederick Davidson

Overview

With insights from Pascal, Dostoevsky, and Solzhenitsyn, Malcolm Muggeridge offers reason to rejoice despite the crumbling of the world around us.

Malcolm Muggeridge contends that Christendom is quite different from Christianity. Christ said that his kingdom is not of this world; Christendom, on the other hand, is of this world and, like every other human creation, is subject to decay and eventual desolation. In this fiery book, Muggeridge explores the prevailing downfall of Christendom, indicating some of the contributing factors to its collapse. However, contrary to our natural impulse to mourn this, Muggeridge makes a cogent and convincing argument that now is a time to rejoice, “for it is precisely when every earthly hope has been explored and found wanting...that Christ's hand reaches out sure and firm.”

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Paul Bechtel
-- Wheaton College
"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."

Harold L. Myra
-- retired CEO and executive chair, Christianity Today
"A refreshing dose of realism . . . definitely worth reading.' "
