Reviewing Books that Build Culture
Marginal No More: Willmoore Kendall as Essential Conservative
“Owen’s biography invites those of us who still hope to defend the American political tradition to abandon the caricature of Kendall and to engage with him as one of the most important interpreters of the meaning and significance of America.”
In Defense of Divine Justice
“Yes, God is loving, benevolent, and merciful, but he is also demanding and strict. This is a message that pervades the New Testament just as much as the Old.”
Sowing Seeds in Useless Fields
“The drawing and quartering of liberal arts is the death of learning. The politics of special interests and the politicization of classrooms by activists posing as educators tilts the classroom towards indoctrination, ‘the dark and evil twin of teaching.'”
Comics and Kids: A Review of Freiheit!
“Recently, I interviewed my nine-year-old son, Ezra, to learn what he liked about [Freiheit!], and graphic novels in general.” – Jeffrey Wald
Christopher Dawson and Cultural Crisis
“Stuart makes the case for Dawson as one of the most significant sociologists of culture in the twentieth century.”
Christopher Dawson on the Causes of Culture
“Dawson’s greatest virtue… is a non-ideological focus on how religion plays a central role in cultural unity.”
The Cultured Mind of Christopher Dawson
“Always in [Dawson’s] work is a sense of the creative interactions between religion and culture, between past and present, between man and his environment, between the material and the spiritual. Dawson had the confidence and humility of a polymath.”
Theologian of the Heart
