With the return of the ARC Conference this June, we are publishing a brand new book — the most comprehensive synthesis of ARC’s philosophy to date. Drawing on Augustine, Tolkien, and a long tradition of civilisational thinking, The Age of Reconstruction charts a path from diagnosis to renewal. While many can point out where things have gone wrong, this book does what most can’t: it lays out a vision of what we must build, how, and why it is still possible.
Praise for The Age of Reconstruction:
"Will Western Civilisation flourish, or flounder? It depends on us, and the decisions we make right now. And Johnny Patterson's wonderful 'The Age of Reconstruction' gives us the formula, based on timeless ideas and wisdom." — Arthur Brooks, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author

Nigel Farage is the Leader of Reform UK and MP for Clacton. Since his return to front line politics, Nigel led the new party to secure over 4 million votes in the 2024 General Election and has a growing membership of over 270,000.

At ARC 2026, Kate Forbes argued that every generation faces the same choice: to follow conviction or convenience.
Drawing on figures including Theodore Roosevelt, William Wilberforce, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Edmund Burke, and the biblical story of Daniel, Forbes reflected on the cost of standing by your principles in modern public life. She shared her own experience of facing criticism over her Christian faith during her leadership campaign, and made the case that conscience, courage, and enduring truth remain essential to a free society.

How did the question Who am I? become one of the defining challenges of the modern age? In this keynote, Carl Trueman traces the historical shift from a world where identity was shaped by family, faith and community to one centred on individual choice and personal feeling. He argues that this transformation lies behind many of the Wests most contentious cultural debates today.

Why are so many young people drawn to radical politics? And what role do fathers, families, and faith play in shaping the next generation?
In this keynote from ARC 2026, John Papola argues that todays political radicals are following a historical pattern stretching from the Jacobins to the Bolsheviks. He explores the roots of modern radicalism, the crisis of fatherlessness, and why rebuilding strong families may be the key to renewing Western civilization.
