America’s two greatest strengths—her liberal democratic culture and her free-market economy—have made her a global superpower. But left unchecked; these two strengths can become great cultural weaknesses; sowing selfishness; recklessness; and apathy. In Resurrecting the Idea of a Christian Society; theologian R. R. Reno argues that America needs a renewal of Christian ideals—ideals that encourage self-sacrifice; responsibility; and solidarity. Drawing on T.S. Eliot’s 1940 essay “The Idea of a Christian Society;†Reno shows how Christianity encourages “an abiding ambition for higher things†and a “moral vision†that can strengthen communities and transform America into a truly great nation.

4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Mixed feelingsBy C. GeorgeThe price and delivery time was great. The only thing I'm disappointed about is the text layout is different from what is shown in the product ("Look Inside") example. In the example the layout text goes from 1 side of the page to the other; in reality the book text is actually divided into 2 columns. It's disappointing because I had picked this one over other Jasher books because I didn't want the 2 column layout. So a bit misleading but I couldn't hardly return the book for that. Just FYI if that's important to you as well.Aside from that the book itself is VERY interesting.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. This book isn't something you read quickly; I read ...By RazzThis book isn't something you read quickly; I read it in parts as I am hoping to understand a biblical passage from another perspective. As always; the Bible trumps any writing outside of itself. So; I read this not as the Gospel truth but as another perspective to be considered in helping me to understand scriptures.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. ... could never have imagined and deepend my relationship and love for God in an awesome wayBy CustomerI am thoroughly enjoying reading the book of Jasher along with the Bible - it has opened up the Word of God to me in a way I could never have imagined and deepend my relationship and love for God in an awesome way. When you have the full picture of God's power and might you can only but bow down and Worship Him in awe.
