Faith and Doubt of John Betjeman An Anthology of his Religious Verse

This year marks the centenary of the birth of John Betjeman, one of the twentieth century's great makers of the Christian imagination. Though widely known as a poet of nostalgia for a bygone England, Betjeman's remarkable talent and influence rank him with the greatest literary proponents of Christianity in our era: C. S. Lewis, G. K. Chesterton, T. S. Eliot and R. S. Thomas. This collection illustrates the vital role of faith in the formation of this great poet and provides a new perspective on his life and beliefs, demonstrating that Betjeman is the pre-eminent poet of the Church in the twentieth century.
