The Return of the Sons of Rome

About the book

For nearly two thousand years, the civilisation shaped by Rome has defined the moral, intellectual and political framework of the West. From the Republic’s transformation into empire, through Europe’s Christianisation, and into the modern age, Rome’s heirs carried a vision of law, faith and ordered liberty that helped form the modern world. Today, that same civilisation faces a profound crisis of identity.

The Return of the Sons of Rome offers a sweeping historical and theological reflection on this pivotal moment. Drawing on classical sources, historical analysis and Christian thought, Dominic Ita-Johnson argues that the West’s future cannot be understood, or renewed, apart from its Christian foundations.

This work calls the heirs of Rome to remember the faith that once gave their civilisation strength and to consider anew the path of repentance, renewal and responsibility before God. In a world now shared with vibrant Christian communities across Africa and the Americas, they are invited to recover their calling and once again carry the gospel to the ends of the earth.
