NEW BOOK: Against the Grain
Christianity and Democracy, War and Peace
By George Weigel
Posted: Tuesday, July 29, 2008
Cutting against the grain of conventional wisdom, New York Times bestseller, George Weigel, offers a compelling look at the ways in which Catholic social teaching sheds light on the challenges of peace, the problem of pluralism, the quest for human rights, and the defense of liberty.  [Read More]
In the Shadow of Progress
Being Human in the Age of Technology
By Eric Cohen
Posted: Tuesday, July 1, 2008
We live in an age of unprecedented human mastery -- over birth and death, body and mind, nature and human nature. In every realm of life, science and technology have brought remarkable advances and improvements: we are healthier, wealthier, and more comfortable than ever before. But our gratitude for the benefits of progress increasingly mixes with concern about the meaning and consequences of our newfound powers.  [Read More]
Media Madness
The Corruption of Our Political Culture
By James Bowman
Posted: Monday, February 4, 2008
Although there is widespread acknowledgment that the "mainstream media" is in crisis no one has explained the intellectual and moral causes of this crisis. James Bowman, media critic for The New Criterion, provides a scintillating and fast-paced anatomy of the mainstream media's self-generated demise.  [Read More]
Faith, Reason, and the War Against Jihadism
A Call to Action
By George Weigel
Posted: Friday, November 9, 2007
More than half a decade after 9/11, safe passage through a moment of history fraught with both peril and possibility requires Americans across the political spectrum to see things as they are. In this incisive, engaging study of the present danger and what we must do to prevail against it, George Weigel, one of America's foremost public intellectuals, does precisely that: he sees, and describes, things as they are -- and as they might be.  [Read More]

By Ernest W. Lefever
Posted: Wednesday, May 17, 2006

Honor
A History
By James Bowman
Posted: Wednesday, April 26, 2006
From the earliest records of human civilization until the dawn of the 20th century, and in widely separated cultures throughout the world, the history of honor was inseparable from the history of mankind. Today, it is still essential to an understanding of the Islamic cultures of the Middle East and the sense of grievance they often foster against the West, and especially the United States. But in the West itself, honor has been disregarded or actively despised for three quarters of a century at least.  [Read More]
My Fundamentalist Education
A Memoir of a Divine Girlhood
By Christine Rosen
Posted: Monday, December 12, 2005
"I grew up in a fundamentalist house and school," writes EPPC Fellow Christine Rosen in her new book. "It wasn't perfect, but it was what I knew; and now, years later, happily married to a non-fundamentalist and professionally something of a rationalist, I look back on them with the fondness most people have for their first school teachers, the band director, principal, classmates and their parents -- Christian fundamentalists, all."  [Read More]
God's Choice
Pope Benedict XVI and the Future of the Catholic Church
By George Weigel
Posted: Thursday, September 15, 2005
After more than twenty-six years of John Paul II's guidance, the Catholic Church is entering a new age. In his new book, God's Choice, George Weigel reflects on John Paul II's greatness, paints an intimate portrait of the new Pope, and boldly assesses the Church's current condition. God's Choice is an invaluable book for anyone seeking to understand the Catholic future and the larger human future the Church will help to shape.  [Read More]
