Description:
In Creed & Culture, James M. Kushiner brings together twenty-one essays that originally appeared in the magazine. These thoughtful articles by an impressive roster of contributors not only make for absorbing reading, but also constitute a valuable compendium of the best contemporary Christian thinking on literature, culture, and theology.
Here the reader will encounter Huston Smith on scientism; Patrick Henry Reardon and Leon J. Podles on public education and its alternatives; Russell Kirk on T. S. Eliot's critique of literary decadence; Philip G. Davis on the problematic legacy of Carl Jung; Thomas Howard on Brideshead Revisited; James L. Sauer on Bambi; James R. Edwards on the Jesus Seminar; and a number of others on the various battles being waged against historic Christianity from within and without the church.
