Cosmo Gordon Lang by J.G. Lockhart is a comprehensive and insightful biography of one of the most influential religious figures of the early 20th century. As Archbishop of Canterbury from 1928 to 1942, Lang played a pivotal role during a turbulent period in British and world history—including the abdication crisis of Edward VIII, the rise of Nazism, and the outbreak of World War II.
This meticulously researched book offers a deep dive into Lang’s life, theology, leadership, and the controversies that surrounded him. Drawing on personal letters, political correspondence, and church records, Lockhart paints a vivid portrait of a man both revered and criticised for his role in shaping the Church of England's response to modernity.
