James Arieti investigates the principal causes of the merger in the common model of God that developed in the Greek philosophical schools, along with its ethical implications, and the shared portrayal in biblical, rabbinic, and postclassical literature of the compassionate warm character that we recognize as a mentsh.

Book excerpt: From the bestselling author of The Ascent of Money and The Square and the Tower “A dazzling history of Western ideas.” —The Economist “Mr. Ferguson tells his story with characteristic verve and an eye for the felicitous phrase.” —Wall Street Journal “[W]ritten with vitality and verve . . . a tour de force.” —Boston Globe Western civilization’s rise to global dominance is the single most important historical phenomenon of the past five centuries. How did the West overtake its Eastern rivals? And has the zenith of Western power now passed? Acclaimed historian Niall Ferguson argues that beginning in the fifteenth century, the West developed six powerful new concepts, or “killer applications”—competition, science, the rule of law, modern medicine, consumerism, and the work ethic—that the Rest lacked, allowing it to surge past all other competitors. Yet now, Ferguson shows how the Rest have downloaded the killer apps the West once monopolized, while the West has literally lost faith in itself. Chronicling the rise and fall of empires alongside clashes (and fusions) of civilizations, Civilization: The West and the Rest recasts world history with force and wit. Boldly argued and teeming with memorable characters, this is Ferguson at his very best.

Download or read book Reason, Faith, and the Struggle for Western Civilization written by Samuel Gregg and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2019-06-25 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Gregg's book is the closet thing I've encountered in a long time to a one-volume user's manual for operating Western Civilization." —The Stream "Reason, Faith, and the Struggle for Western Civilization offers a concise intellectual history of the West through the prism of the relationship between faith and reason." —Free Beacon The genius of Western civilization is its unique synthesis of reason and faith. But today that synthesis is under attack—from the East by radical Islam (faith without reason) and from within the West itself by aggressive secularism (reason without faith). The stakes are incalculably high. The naïve and increasingly common assumption that reason and faith are incompatible is simply at odds with the facts of history. The revelation in the Hebrew Scriptures of a reasonable Creator imbued Judaism and Christianity with a conviction that the world is intelligible, leading to the flowering of reason and the invention of science in the West. It was no accident that the Enlightenment took place in the culture formed by the Jewish and Christian faiths. We can all see that faith without reason is benighted at best, fanatical and violent at worst. But too many forget that reason, stripped of faith, is subject to its own pathologies. A supposedly autonomous reason easily sinks into fanaticism, stifling dissent as bigoted and irrational and devouring the humane civilization fostered by the integration of reason and faith. The blood-soaked history of the twentieth century attests to the totalitarian forces unleashed by corrupted reason. But Samuel Gregg does more than lament the intellectual and spiritual ruin caused by the divorce of reason and faith. He shows that each of these foundational principles corrects the other’s excesses and enhances our comprehension of the truth in a continuous renewal of civilization. By recovering this balance, we can avoid a suicidal winner-take-all conflict between reason and faith and a future that will respect neither.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Everlasting Spring: Beyond Olympus is an epic trilogy in three heroic sagas spanning two thousand years in the tumultuous advance of Western Civilization. The Storyteller is an old man who understands and appreciates the heroes and heroines, saints and sinners who made world changing history, with love and self-sacrifice, enabling Western Culture to survive and produce the United States of America. When he was young and foolish, naive and swaggering with false bravado, the Storyteller frolicked in the good life and took it for granted, until a cold Christmas Eve when a lovely young woman broke his heart, and shattered his soul. The tragic death of beautiful romance brought darkness with agony and despair; but the trajectory of his life was soon blessed by a light so bright it revealed his future, and compelled him to write. So the Storyteller joined with his characters, the brave and the bold, remembered by historians, some new and some old. He miraculously survived them, with few regrets; and his life was replete with trials and tribulations known to those who dream big, daring defeat. Then find peace in their passion for truth everlasting. Once called a hero, the Storyteller perished the thought. He knew better people, those who risked everything for true love and equal justice during the dark nights of their souls, and their time in the light. They were immortals, seeking knowledge with facts. And the results of their odyssey eventually touched all, as they followed the sun, moon and stars, just like the Storyteller was doing when he met Benjamin and Boudica, and four others too. Then chronicled their journeys, in a Corps of Discovery, to find the most precious and meaningful treasure of all.
