In addition to being one of the most important literary figures of the 20-century, Malcolm Muggeridge is an authentic Christian mystic. Though openly admitting he is not a theologian, his life embodies a deep and wonderful communion with God. This work includes his thoughts and reflections upon the Christian religion. It represents, in his words, a sustained effort of one aging, 20-century mind to give expression to a deep dissatisfaction with prevailing contemporary values and assumptions, and an abiding sense, ever more overwhelming in its intensity, that there is an alternative - an alternative that was first propounded 2,000 years ago near the Sea of Galilee, was fulfilled on the hill called Golgotha and in the events that followed and, despite all the villainies and ups-and-downs of history, has been the glory of 2,000 years of Christendom.

Malcolm Muggeridge (1903–1990) was a world-renowned philosopher, humorist, newspaper editor, and university rector. He is best known to American audiences for his book Something Beautiful for God and for his frequent appearances on Firing Line. A tart-tongued agnostic, he was fascinated by the idea of faith and eventually converted to Catholicism. His enduring appeal is often compared to that of his compatriots G. K. Chesterton and C. S. Lewis.
