Resurrecting the Idea of a Christian Society, Hardcover

Descriere

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.
