Book Review: “The Air We Breathe,” Glen Scrivener
“Scrivener shows that many of the values we take for granted in our modern progressive world actually are products of a Christian worldview. Compassion for the weak and vulnerable; equality among all people; the evils of slavery and sexual abuse; and the expectation of moral progress are all ideals not assumed in the ancient world.”
Book Review: “Fateful Lightning,” Allen C. Guelzo
“Whenever a person frets that our nation is "more divided than ever," it is probably worth pointing out that about 150 years ago, our divisions were so deep that they led to a bloody civil war. Astonishingly, at that time, half of our nation decided to secede and form their own nation, with their own constitution and their own president.”

Radical individualism isn’t the opposite of statism; it actually requires it.
