"Peter Johnson has written an important book about the underexplored topic of R. G. Collingwood's Christianity. By situating Collingwood in relation to some of the most prominent philosophers of the 20th century, the book offers a vital contribution to research about the role of religious thought in English-speaking philosophy." --Jonas Ahlskog, University Lecturer in History, Åbo Akademi University, Finland "Proper understanding of Collingwood's thought has long been distorted by neglect of his attitude to Christianity and a belief that the Christian dimension of his thought faded as his philosophy matured. A serious treatment of the role of Christianity in Collingwood's thought is long overdue: here, at last, we have it." --James Connelly, Emeritus Professor of Political Theory, University of Hull, UK "Attentive readers have long acknowledged the importance of religion in Collingwood's thought, but none have dealt with it in such a comprehensive way as this volume does. Johnson's study provides an illuminating lens for reassessing Collingwood's work, and an invitation - in Collingwoodian spirit - to engage in our own serious reflection on the relation between religion and civilization" --Ian Tregenza, Associate Professor, Politics and International Relations, Macquarie University, Sydney.
