Its themes of spiritual tension, sacred vs. secular power, and religious war are as powerful now as they were when Williams wrote this play just over one hundred years ago.

T. S.Eliot writes of Charles Williams as "unclassifiable." Therein lies the scholarly challenge which Dr. Peirano faces in this remarkable book.

This is the book nobody will like. The Episcopal Church has gone crazy. We've become pigs who roll around in our own mud, and when we've finished rolling here, we roll there. Perhaps we eat a little spiritual food and then wallow back to the mud. We talk about God, mention Jesus like he's our best...
