Review:
"Highly recommended for public and academic libraries. This 'against the grain' vision of politics, economics, and human dignity should shed much light on the thinking of today's informed and religiously conservative Catholics." --"Library Journal"
"Weigel's learned, clearly written, and tightly argued essays stand as the best evidence for his claim that the Christian tradition is indispensable for any serious discussion of the challenges facing our country." --City Journal

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. New hardcover in like DJ. Text is clean and free of marks or underlining. Includes chapter notes and index. 339 pp. Fast shipping in a secure book box mailer with tracking. 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. In this major contribution one of America's most prominent intellectuals offers a meticulous analysis of the foundations of the free society as he makes a powerful case for the role of moral reasoning in meeting the threats to human dignity posed by debonair nihilism, jihadist violence, and the brave new world of manufactured men and women.
