“Professor Strehle’s latest book is as important as his previous scholarly contributions to disputes around Christianity and secularism. This volume takes his work to new heights, adding existential and moral urgency to debates which are more than about religion in the public square. Drawing on powerful prophetic sources, Professor Strehle provides convincing evidence of what is at stake here: not merely the state of the nation but perhaps even the salvation of souls.”—Liam Gearon, Senior Research Fellow, Harris Manchester College, University of Oxford; Author, On Holy Ground: The Theory and Practice of Religious Education
