At the heart of his story is the early Church's \"culture of paradise,\" an experience of the world in which the kingdom of heaven was tangible and familiar. Drawing not only on worship and theology but statecraft and the arts, the author reveals the remarkably affirmative character Western culture once had under the influence of Christianity-in particular, of Eastern Christendom, which served the West not only as a cradle but as a tutor and guardian as well.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50506025566555,"sku":"","price":28.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0918\/7511\/5355\/files\/718G-oQ2fXL._SL1360.jpg?v=1746006428"},{"product_id":"the-age-of-division","title":"The Age of Division: Christendom from the Great Schism to the Protest","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIf you have ever wondered exactly how we got from the Christian society of the early centuries, united in its faithfulness to apostolic tradition, to the fragmented and secular state of the West today, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Age of Division\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ewill answer all your questions and more.

As nihilism began to cast its menacing shadow on the eve of the First World War, a self-styled \"antichrist\" named Friedrich Nietzsche and an obstinately Christian Fyodor Dostoevsky both offered ominous visions of what the West would become if \"God is dead\" and any moral act thus becomes permissible. Though total warfare seemed to confirm such predictions, a project arose in its wake to rebuild utopia with secular ideologies that, in the case of Nazism, opened the abyss even further. Communism and liberalism were left after the Second World War to compete for ultimate preeminence, but both would ultimately fail to replace the lost transcendence of the West's deep first-millennium past. As the twenty-first century opened, utopia was as elusive as ever, and a culture of paradise once again beckoned to a civilization exhausted by centuries of secularism.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50506049323355,"sku":null,"price":28.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0918\/7511\/5355\/files\/91hbIc7XzsL._SL1500.jpg?v=1746006428"},{"product_id":"nicaea-2025-badge-pins","title":"Nicaea 2025 Badge Pins","description":"\u003cp\u003eNicaea 2025 Celebration Badge Pin Collectables bearing the Nicaea 2025 Celebration Logo\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shrewsbury Orthodox Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50618694304091,"sku":"","price":1.56,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0918\/7511\/5355\/files\/IMG_2041-Enhanced-NR.jpg?v=1747925584"},{"product_id":"roundneck-t-shirt-nicaea-2025-celebration","title":"Roundneck T-Shirt - Nicaea 2025 Celebration","description":"\u003cp\u003eBlack Cotton Roundneck T-shirts bearing the logo of our Nicaea 2025 Celebration.

Since the gospel may have reached this region as early as the late first century, Wales boasts innumerable Christian saints from that Orthodox\/Celtic period of history. Even today the names of these saints dot the landscape of Wales, but while their names may be known, their lives and deeds have largely been forgotten. This small volume helps revitalize interest in and veneration of a number of these Orthodox holy ones, focusing primarily on those who make up what is called the \"Golden Age of Saints\" in Wales (the fifth through seventh centuries).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ancient Faith","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50955969691995,"sku":null,"price":10.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0918\/7511\/5355\/files\/IMG_2259-Enhanced-NR.jpg?v=1752072327"},{"product_id":"2026-wall-calendar","title":"2026 Wall Calendar","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 2026 Orthodox Christian wall calendar is now available for collection or delivery from 26th October.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis year's theme is our 40-Year anniversary of the Orthodox Church in Shrewsbury featuring some of the people, places and events that marked the building up of the Church in Shropshire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeaturing full-colour icons, an in-depth fasting guide, major feasts of the menaion and local British saints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe calendar is a beautiful and essential addition to your walls that will help you plan your lives according to the salvific cycle of the Church year.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shrewsbury Orthodox Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51562501275995,"sku":null,"price":6.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0918\/7511\/5355\/files\/Screenshot2025-10-18at14.46.39.png?v=1760795561"},{"product_id":"christmas-cards-nativity","title":"Christmas Cards Nativity (pack of five)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePack of five Christmas cards with envelopes.

After marrying and moving to St. Petersburg in the 1990s, where he converted to Orthodoxy, Mike and his wife opened a gallery and publishing house back in London that specialized in art and photography from the former Soviet Union. In addition to cartoons, Mike illustrates for advertising and editorials, literature and branding, and designs books.
