The systematic removal of religion from all aspects of public life, most specifically education and politics, has been devastating to Christian values. 60 years after the secularization of schools, the impact of the moral relativism and rejection of traditional Christian beliefs in two successive generations can hardly be overstated.
Simultaneously, mainstream Protestant churches have shifted in the direction of the culture. 56% of evangelicals deny the doctrine of original sin. 73% of them say they believe that Jesus was created by God, 56% believe that God accepts the worship of all religions, including Islam. 43% believe Jesus was a great teacher but not God. All these are forms of heresies that were long-dead after the first few centuries of the Christian church and the writings of Augustine, the Council of Nycea, Aquinas and others. In 1960, 50% of America identified as one of the mainline Protestant denominations. Today it is only 10%. On marriage, sexuality, abortion and social justice, many churches have “watered down their theology and ... embraced liberal politics on activism, that one today can hardly consider them Christian in any meaningful or historical sense.”

This book is a panoramic historical treatise on the pagan world before Judeo-Christian influence, the impact of Christianity in replacing paganism in the Western world, and its modern resurgence. The author painstakingly delineates how the spread of Christianity/Western Civilization liberated souls from slavery, barbarism and misery, and how America is currently discarding its values and principles and retreating to a pagan system.

I just responded to phone “survey” about Arizona politics. It went something like this:
Questioner: Are you going to vote in the next election?
Martin: Damn straight, I never miss an election.
Questioner: Have you heard of …

It is common to see thought leaders, especially on the right side of the political spectrum, bemoan the degradation of the meritocracy under which the United States once purported to operate. With the advent of identity politics and grievance culture …

While
How to Save the West might sound like the title of a Jordan Peterson-style list of ways to improve life amidst the chaos of the modern world, Spencer Klavan takes a refreshing tack in his first book. Instead, Klavan's book serves as an introduction to the greatest minds in history, with a dose of theological exegesis that makes the book into something of an unexpected apologetic as well.

At first glance, this book looks like a part of the “For Dummies” series. (You know, Computers for Dummies, Cooking for Dummies, Nuclear Physics for Dummies, etc). The cover graphics show a mask (made in China) and the logo of a winking pig. Near the mask is this quote: “When this virus is over, I still want some of you to stay away from me”, a sentiment to which I instantly relate. Then I discovered that this “Politically Incorrect Guide” is actually one book in a series of some 30 odd books dealing with everything from American History, to Women and Feminism.

Andrew Klavan sums up the general thesis of his latest book, The Truth and Beauty, near its end: “because beauty is truth and truth is beauty, we know our minds are made to find the meaning in creation. Only a human being – his life, his death, his eternal life – can provide us with what Coleridge called the ‘total idea,’ the idea of which each of us expresses his small piece, his soul.” This is a rather lofty sentiment, and one that requires a good amount of both historical and philosophical context to unpack – context which Klavan artfully supplies in the preceding chapters.
