Revolution and Counter Revolution
“We might hope that a fuller discussion may arise that brings to light how the traditional conservative commitment to ordered liberty and checked power compares to the various ideological options on offer from today’s right.”

“Both stories should be carefully considered by those attempting to understand liberalism, its present form, and its future.”

“[The book] gives Christians tools to read the cultural terrain. It makes a strong argument that evangelistic and discipleship tactics must be updated to account for current conditions. And it offers outside-the-box suggestions for strengthening evangelical households and institutions.”

“McNamara and Shelley… demonstrate that recovering citizenship is essential to preserving America’s constitutional tradition.”

JP O’Malley Interviews Author Joseph Berger
“’I was inspired to write this biography because I felt it would allow me to humanize Wiesel,’ …[Berger] explains.”
