In the 1930s and 1940s - amid the crises of totalitarianism, war
and a perceived cultural collapse in the democratic West - a
high-profile group of mostly Christian intellectuals met to map out
'middle ways' through the 'age of extremes'. Led by the missionary
and ecumenist Joseph H. Oldham, the group included prominent
writers, thinkers and activists such as T. S. Eliot, John Middleton
Murry, Karl Mannheim, John Baillie, Alec Vidler, H. A. Hodges,
Christopher Dawson, Kathleen Bliss and Michael Polanyi. The 'Oldham
group' saw faith as a uniquely powerful resource for social and
cultural renewal, and it represents a fascinating case study of
efforts to renew freedom in a dramatic confrontation with
totalitarianism. The group's story will appeal to those interested
in the cultural history of the Second World War and the issue of
applying faith to the 'modern' social order. -- .
