CheckoutIn this illuminating collection of portraits, Muggeridge explores the spiritual wanderings of seven maverick thinkers: Augustine, Pascal, Blake, Kierkegaard, Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy, and Bonhoeffer.
Based on an acclaimed TV series, this illuminating collection of portraits brings to life seven men in search of God – seven maverick thinkers whose seeking for Christian discipleship make for unforgettable reading.
Saint Augustine, a headstrong young hedonist and speechwriter who turned his back on money and prestige in order to serve Christ...
Blaise Pascal, a brilliant scientist who warned people against thinking they could live without God...
William Blake, a magnificent artist and poet who pled passionately for the life of the spirit and foresaw the plight that materialism would usher in...
Soren Kierkegaard, a renegade philosopher who spent most of his life at odds with the church, and insisted that every person must find his own way to God...
Fyodor Dostoyevsky, a debt-ridden writer and sometime prisoner who found, in the midst of squalor and political turmoil, the still small voice of God...
Leo Tolstoy, a grand old novelist who swung between idealism and depression, loneliness and fame--and a dual awareness of his sinfulness and God's grace.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a pastor whose writings--and agonized involvement in a plot to kill Hitler--cost him his life, but continue to inspire millions.
The Author: Often compared to G.K. Chesterton and C.S. Lewis, British writer and television commentator Malcolm Muggeridge (1903-1990) is best known for having introduced Mother Teresa to the English-speaking world through his classic biography Something Beautiful for God. A tart-tongued agnostic for most of his life, Muggeridge converted to Catholicism at 80. But he never stopped asking questions, which surely explains his enduring appeal.

I found your site by doing a search for Malcolm Muggeridge's "A Third Testament." I watched this series when it first appeared, and then a repeat broadcast on Vision T.V. I managed to record the program for "St. Augustine," "Soren Kierkegaard," "Tolstoy," and "William Blake," but missed the others. For my tastes, the best program I've ever seen on Television--the speaking tube that Kierkegaard foretold and warned us against. It has such a great capacity to educate--but what has it become instead? A blunting hammer used to pummel the masses into a state of mental degeneracy and hopelessness--just what Kierkegaard predicted before its actual appearance.
It is an amazing book full of deep spiritual insight for all times. I have read and reread it number of times and each time find it as fresh as ever. Thank you for opening a window to great spiritual giants who much of our present modern world would have forgetten or bypassed.
Both the televsion series and the book are classics reflecting the intellectual and spiritual growth of one of the great men of the twentieth century. His exposure of the Stalinist man made famine which resulted in 14 million deaths in the Soviet Union cost him his job, his reputation, and his credulity for a brave new world order under Lenin.
