Reviewing Books that Build Culture
A “Sputnik Moment” for Civics
“The key to effective civics is for teachers to engage students in ‘conversations based on primary sources.’ Immersion in such conversations, the authors contend, ‘makes us feel part of the story, making it ours too.'”
Editors’ Summer Reading
Summer is well underway. So is our summer reading. Speaking of which—what are we reading?
The Dublin Fog: In the Footsteps of the Irish Saints
“Connie Marshner and Mike Aquilina have both published books this year that give us a window into this long-lost world of ancient Irish Christianity. Each is a discernment project, straining to see through a glass, darkly, how this middle eastern religion came to Ireland, whence it spread even farther abroad.”
Love That Tells the Truth
“…the book is studded with several truths that together give a thorough—and loving—response to the lies of modern secular culture.”
Humanely Conservative
“For [the authors], the decline or renewal of the West depends upon whether a conservative humanism can be recovered, whether the wisdom of our ancestors will be rejuvenated and whether we are willing to look back into the past in order to move forward in the future.”
Conservative Humanism for a Postmodern Age
“…[the] authors deserve praise for demonstrating that conservatism is not a mere ideology: it is a serious philosophical position.”
The Leadership of George Marshall
“…this study of the formation of General George C. Marshall would have benefited from even more time devoted to both its form and its content.”
We Still Need Family, Religion, and Tradition
“In the end… it always comes down to the ancient story of secular humanism versus Christian belief. Is there room for yet another book on this theme? Of course there is, and there always will be, so long as fallen man remains fallen.”
The Woman Who Loved Lord Byron
“Caroline’s life, we might say, was a real-life embodiment of the Byronic hero or heroine.”
