Reviewing Books that Build Culture
The Destruction of American Social Cohesion
“A crucial element of the plot that Gonzalez exposes is the division of Americans into discrete groups based on race, national origin, gender, sexual preference, class, and other features.”
Ted McAllister’s Place: A Memorial Tribute
“Ted will, of course, be remembered most for his scholarship. But it is a testament to the right order of his soul that he lived in a manner that prioritized his faith, his family, and his primary vocation as a teacher over worldly success.”
Losing Homer
“…while Homer is… critical of elements of battle, he is not necessarily an anti-war poet. War is awful, but it activates certain deeply human qualities that demonstrate true human greatness.”
The Story Behind “Hitler’s Greatest Strategic Error”
“…Simms and Laderman have written the definitive study of the four days after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.”
Psalms for Heaven, Earth, and Everywhere In Between
“…the anthology amply demonstrates that there has been a revival of serious poetry by serious Christian believers.”
In Defense of Maintenance
According to Vinsel and Russell, “The Innovation Delusion is the false belief that the pursuit of innovation and novelty will lead us into the promised land of growth and profit when, in reality, it will lead us to ignore the ever-accumulating pile of deferred maintenance and infrastructural debt—and, in the process, lead individuals toward burnout and our society to accelerating levels of exploitation and inequality.”
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.'”
