Our Culture

Overview

The culture of this country has become so far secularized that there is a danger that its Christian origin may be forgotten. This provocative series of lectures (the Edward Alleyn Lectures of 1944) indicates how the present crisis in our culture must be faced in the light of those origins in order that the continuity of the Christian tradition may be maintained. The lecturers are all authorities in their respective spheres: philosophy is dealt with by Professor H. A. Hodges and education by Christopher Dawson; Miss Dorothy L. Sayers contributes a lecture on Christian aesthetics; Maurice B. Reckitt, the editor of Christendom, discusses industrial problems; and the introductory and closing lectures are by Canon Demant, the editor.
