Based on a close analysis of nearly 2,000 fan letters written to Malcolm Muggeridge after his conversion to Christianity, this book reconstructs the lived religion of ordinary people from a transnational perspective in the 1970s. These letters provide a glimpse into the experiences and concerns of Western Christians after the religious crisis of the 1960s.
