Not The Outsider, But The Insider

As someone of whom you have never heard attempts a hatchet job on Cardinal Sarah, this book is dedicated to him, among other people. Perfect isolation reading:

The subjects addressed here include Radical Orthodoxy, the relationship between the Hebraic and Hellenic traditions, the Second Vatican Council, Catholicism as completing and transcending the various strands of Protestantism, Early Modern English Catholic literature, English Catholic literature of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the Established status of the Church of England, the Jacobite roots of the Radical traditions in British politics, Opus Dei and the Left, the Catholic origins of modern science, and the Church’s record on HIV infection in Africa, on the Holocaust, and on the Roman and Spanish Inquisitions.

“An erudite defence of the Catholic position, this collection of theological, philosophical, literary and historical essays invites the reader to dive deep into the intellectual issues that challenge the Church today.”

Fr Dwight Longenecker, Catholic priest, blogger and author of The Quest for the Creed and The Romance of Religion.

“Lindsay’s essays examine how Christianity often occupies that fraught intersection between theology, theory and lived reality. Keenly aware of the weight of history and inherited traditions, Lindsay leads the reader through a number of highway and byways ways that eruditely explore topics touching on politics, literature, philosophy, etc., but always as illuminated by the light of Faith. If readers take the time to journey through these essays they will find themselves richly rewarded by an enlightening and interesting excursion.”

Dr John Newton, Editor-in-Chief of Baronius Press.

“David Lindsay is a veritable tour de force. He writes with a profundity and perspicacity that is all too rare in our dumbed-down and shallow age. He deserves and warrants a wide readership.”

Dr Joseph Pearce, Editor of The St. Austin Review.

David Lindsay is a writer based in Lanchester, County Durham, in the United Kingdom.
