Reviewing Books that Build Culture
Justice and Morality in Smithian Liberalism
“…the value of this volume and Klein’s scholarship comes from how it deals with the moral, ethical, and epistemological dimensions of commercial society.”
More than Regime Change, We Need a New Cosmological Vision
“…one cannot recover classical forms of political life—including a proper integration of elites and the common people—without recovering classical cosmology, which is hierarchical, complex, and beautiful and requires both submission and participation.”

“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.”
Liberalism in its Complexity
“Both stories should be carefully considered by those attempting to understand liberalism, its present form, and its future.”
Christians in the Brave New World
“[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.”
Still Believing and Singing
“[It is] a book that will resonate with many readers because of how it connects the personal stories about Jeremy Camp’s life to universal themes about faith and adversity.”

Citizenship Matters
“McNamara and Shelley… demonstrate that recovering citizenship is essential to preserving America’s constitutional tradition.”
The Mind Of Middle-Earth: Exploring The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien
“The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien is a treasure trove of insights from the mind of Tolkien that we can read and then revisit from time to time…”
