Description

Book Synopsis
In this volume Christopher Dawson outlines his main thesis for the history of culture, which was his life's work. He contends that religion is the soul of a culture and that a society or culture which has lost its spiritual roots is a dying culture. The work challenges the doctrine of progress.

Trade Review
Progress and Religion is undoubtedly a brilliant book. Its argument is closely reasoned, admirably presented, lucidly expressed. Its standpoint is original and suggestive, profound and illuminating. Without exaggeration, it may be regarded as one of the books of our generation. - The Manchester Guardian, 1929 ""A book of vast learning...a theme which invites the consideration of a stately procession of the greatest names in the history of the world's thought."" - The Scotsman, 1929
