In Volume 1 of Religion and Public Doctrine in Modern England,
Maurice Cowling defined the principles according to which the
intellectual history of modern England should be written and argued
that the history of Christianity was of primary importance. In this
volume, which is self-contained, he makes a further contribution to
understanding the role which Christianity has played in modern
English thought. The book is unusual in its concentration on
argument. Cowling relates Christian argument to secular argument
and secular argument to Christian argument, discussing
Tractarianism and Ultramontanism in the context of secular humanism
and pessimistic illusionlessness, and vice versa. The roles of
science and history are discussed. The book is given coherence by
the connected ideas of the ubiquity of religion, of literature as
an instrument of religious indoctrination, and of the intimacy of
the connections between the political, philosophical, literary and
religious assumptions that are to be found among the leaders of the
English intelligentsia.
