Reviewing Books that Build Culture

What the American Revolution Secured: Order, Justice, and Freedom

Throughout the semiquincentennial year celebrating America’s independence, The University Bookman will invite a range of writers and speakers to contribute to a series drawing upon Russell Kirk’s work on the American Revolution and the constitutional order it secured.

A Forgotten Russian Immigrant Poet in Hollywood

“Nostalgia unquestionably captivates all émigrés. There you may be, decades gone from the old country, and glad of it. Yet still you long for the taste of familiar foods, the sight of those Russian birch trees, and the sound of the language you never have the opportunity to speak outside the home.”

The Scientific Evidence for God

“From the study of the universe to the study of the human cell and the irrational claims of materialism, this book can fortify one’s belief in God and show how that belief is, by far, the most rational one.”

Help Me Read the Word

“Womack introduces important concepts and provides helpful tools to her fellow Bible Nerds to discover the richness of the Word. She also effectively details the different genres of Scripture. These concepts, tools, and details are woven together with personal anecdotes that make the text easily relatable. The author’s love of Scripture shines through, and it can only help anyone honestly pursuing the truth of God’s Word.”

Every Mann

Every Mann

“…Mann blends those aforementioned Big Questions with little daily ones of eternal significance…”

Saving the West By Keeping It Real

“…Klavan applies his extensive knowledge of classical literature and the Western canon to properly frame today’s challenges and help people take appropriate action.”

Reagan as Peacemaking Cold Warrior

“Inboden’s work does a lot to explain this dichotomy as part of Reagan’s larger vision: to exploit the weaknesses in the Soviet system while building up American strength with the goal of causing a collapse in the Soviet system.”

Oh Yeah Baby Eat It

Oh Yeah Baby Eat It

“Bottum’s voice is confident and idiosyncratic, playful and wise, plainspoken and deliberate, concerned with dramas large and dramas small.”

The Wisdom of Medieval Scholasticism

The Wisdom of Medieval Scholasticism

“The book not only makes a worthy contribution to anyone interested in understanding Medieval philosophy and the thought of Duns Scotus, but to everybody seeking to deepen their appreciation of human existence and its place in ultimate reality.”

Political Theology for Realists

Political Theology for Realists

“…even those who might diverge theologically will find this work to be an extremely useful short primer on the history of Christian political thought.”
