His Reign Shall Have No End is a new introduction to Catholic Social Teaching (CST). Too often, this rich subject is reduced to a grab-bag of catechetical truisms and welfare policies driven by modern secular, egalitarian, and pluralist assumptions. In contrast, Dr. Kwasniewski traces CST back to the world-changing mystery of the Incarnation, whereby the Son of God became Head and Ruler of mankind in regard to natural and supernatural goods alike. For this reason, the kingship of Jesus Christ—a revealed truth given consummate formulation by Pope Pius XI in his 1925 encyclical Quas Primas—is nothing less than the master key to CST’s coherence; it is, more to the point, the essential condition for the flourishing of nations no less than the beatitude of individuals. Where this kingship is ignored or denied, individuals, families, whole societies decompose like a body deprived of a soul; wherever it is welcomed in faith, Christian life revives and Christendom stirs from slumber. To guide the reconquest, Divine Providence raised up Pope Leo XIII, unparalleled exponent of a profoundly Catholic response to the thorniest political and economic questions that confront the human race at a time of tremendous upheaval.

“This is the best book on Catholic Social Teaching I have ever read! Not only does Dr. Kwasniewski give a true account of the Church’s perennial teaching on a range of central questions, he helps readers identify and skewer counterfeit versions of the Faith.” —Dr. C.C. Pecknold, Associate Professor of Theology, The Catholic University of America
“Whether it is the issue of property rights, or freedom of speech, or democratic processes and the rule of law, or any other issue that plagues contemporary political discourse, Kwasniewski demonstrates that the Lord’s Kingship is the ultimate answer, and that outside His Kingdom there is only chaos and confusion.” —Dr. Sebastian Morello, Wolfgang Smith Chair in Philosophy, St Mary’s University, London
“Peter Kwasniewski’s His Reign Shall Have No End is a work of superlative clarity. With a steady hand, he retrieves the Church’s perennial wisdom on the Kingship of Christ, carefully engaging with Scripture, Tradition, and Magisterial teaching while confronting the errors of secular liberalism.” —Fr. William J. Slattery, author of Enchanted by Eternity: Recapturing the Wonder of the Catholic Worldview
“Peter Kwasniewski is a meticulous cartographer and a bold explorer.… We should be grateful for his labours.” —Alan Fimister, co-author of Integralism: A Manual of Political Philosophy
“This book is especially good on the great encyclicals of Leo XIII and kindred popes, on how these classical principles are reflected in the Church’s traditional life of prayer, and on the radical oppositions between Catholic social teaching and every current political movement.” —James Kalb, author of The Tyranny of Liberalism and The Decomposition of Man
