PUBLICATION DAY for God is an Englishman! "Of making many books there is no end" but at least this one is done and out in the world. I don't know if it contains wisdom more precious than rubies... /1

[BijanOmrani @BijanOmrani]

Thanks to Fergus Butler-Gallie @_F_B_G_ for kindly endorsing my new book, God is an Englishman: "a fascinating, fulsomely detailed book, which provides a wonderful tour through English Christianity." /1

[BijanOmrani @BijanOmrani]

My thanks to Revd Canon Prof Alison Milbank for endorsing my new book, God is an Englishman:

"Everyone should read this book: the non-religious to acknowledge the Christian foundations that undergird English law, politics and culture and Christians to regain confidence..." 🧵/1

[BijanOmrani @BijanOmrani]

COVER REVEAL - God is an Englishman: Christianity and the Creation of England - coming out in April 2025, published by Forum... This has kept me busy for quite a while... 🧵

Please do join Will this autumn as he talks about what isn't heard or talked about enough: the loss of a child & a father's grief.

There will be tears, there will be laughter, there will be hope.
