This book was published to mark the 150th anniversary of the National Club, which was founded in the mid-19th century to bring a Christian perspective to bear on our national life.
The book is a series of essays which attempts a Christian assessment of our national life today. The contributors are drawn from the Christian 'great and the good', not so much the theologians and preachers, but those with secular careers particularly in science, medicine and business.
