Synopsis
When faith collides with power, a sweeping vision of worship and world-changing awe unfolds.
A tense, immersive scene follows a single seeker through a church of grand ritual, where a society treats devotion as a public rite and a new form of worship gathers momentum. The moments blend personal revelation with immense liturgical spectacle, drawing the reader into questions about authority, belief, and the cost of convergence between church and state.
This edition anchors a climactic turn in a world under pressure to redefine the sacred. It blends mystical experience with political stakes, inviting readers to weigh the allure of communal worship against the risks of compulsory faith.
- Vivid, mercurial religious imagery that probes the line between mysticism and power
- A tension-filled look at how worship can become a public, political act
- Character-driven moments of doubt, awe, and moral questioning
- Atmospheric scenes that fuse ritual spectacle with a troubling vision of the world
Ideal for readers drawn to dystopian religious fiction and thoughtful explorations of belief under pressure.

Présentation de l'éditeur
But I did not know how else to express the principles I desired (and which I passionately believe to be true) except by producing their lines to a sensational point. I have tried, however, not to scream unduly loud, and to retain, so far as possible, reverence and consideration for the opinions of other people. Whether I have succeeded in that attempt is quite another matter. Robert Hugh Benson. CAMBRIDGE, 1907.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book transports readers to a future world dramatically reshaped by social and political upheaval. Set in a time when England has embraced Communism, the author explores the impact of this radical shift on every facet of society: from the demise of traditional institutions like the monarchy and the universities, to the rise of a new secular order. Through a series of conversations between a seasoned politician and two priests, the book delves into the political and religious landscape of this future. The author offers a compelling perspective on the clash between the forces of secular humanism and the enduring influence of Catholicism. This stark contrast underscores the book's exploration of faith, power, and the struggle for control in a rapidly evolving world. The author's vivid portrayal of this future society, with its advanced technology and starkly contrasting ideologies, offers a thought - provoking commentary on the potential trajectory of our own society. The book's exploration of the enduring power of religious belief amidst a secular world makes it a compelling read for those interested in the intersection of faith, politics, and social change. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
