Travels in Radical Christianity

Communist factory owners; a law-breaking priest; a speed-skating religious sister. These are just a few of the notable characters Roy Peachey meets as he travels around Great Britain and Ireland in search of counter-cultural Christianity, finding groups as diverse as Opus Dei and the Bruderhof, the Catholic Worker Movement and the Transalpine Redemptorists. Part reflection on the Benedict Option and part exploration of what it means to return to orthodox Christian roots, Travels in Radical Christianity is a book that asks what the ordinary Christian in the pew can learn from those who have chosen to live radically different lives.
