Reviewing Books that Build Culture
Apocalyptic Hope?
“…Hart teases out the distinction between tradition and traditionalism in a book that is thought-provoking and rewarding even where one disagrees with him.”
In Dialogue, We Dwell
“…political sentiment in America has atrophied to ‘factionalism,’ or precisely that against which James Madison warned in Federalist No. 10…”
Shakespeare and the Real
“…Shakespeare has indeed become, like the body of Patroclus, the center of one of the most violent skirmishes in the larger battle that rages over the gargantuan remains of the West.”
Can We Trust the Gospels?
“…McGrew contends not only that there is strong external evidence for the God of the New Testament… but that there is also good internal evidence—the information conveyed in the biblical accounts corresponds to what we know about the way truthful people talk and write.”
Betting on Catastrophe
“…who better than The New Criterion’s bench of deep thinkers to mull over James Burnham’s hypothesis—’Suicide is probably more frequent than murder as the end phase of a civilization’—with respect to Christendom’s funereal prospects.”
Here Comes Everybody: A New Survey of American Catholicism
“…historian Christopher Shannon… attemts[s] to tell the story of Catholic life in North America over the last five centuries in little more than five hundred pages.”
The War for the Second Age
“At its core… Sibley’s volume is the story of a Fall, and as such gives readers unparalleled insight into the moral underpinnings of Tolkien’s world.”
The Founders and the Constitution on Religious Liberty
“In short, without freedom of association, there can be no effective right to religious liberty in the common sense meaning of that term…”
Pat Buchanan and an America First Foreign Policy
“…Buchanan was right more often than wrong. His weekly literary pugilism will be missed as he retires his syndicated column.”
