Shows that the English historian Christopher Dawson is best understood as he himself interpreted his historical subjects - in the context of 'the spiritual world in which he lived, the ideas that moved him, and the faith that inspired his action.' Dawson was not a historian of ideas for their own sake; he had a belief in their liberating power.
