A captivating account that narrates, month by month, the events of 1917: Red Banners, White Mantle is popular Catholic history at its finest. The drama of the Great War and the Russian Revolution are juxtaposed with the spiritual dimension of the age: the diabolism of Rasputin, the Apparition of the Virgin at Fatima, the malignancy of Lenin, the saintly courage of (the now blessed) Charles of Austria. Few standard histories have ever given such a high degree of consideration to the supernatural and the Christian interpretation of history as does 1917.

Why another book about C. S. Lewis? The answer is simple: C.S. Lewis: A Critical Essay is the most concise and vivid introduction to the life and writings of the greatest apologist of the twentieth century. First published over forty years ago, and now updated to include an entirely new essay by the author, Kreeft’s books wisely allows Lewis to speak for himself through a series of judiciously chosen quotations. C. S. Lewis: A Critical Essay is a memorable tribute from one of today’s foremost Christian apologists —whose own writings have often been compared to those of Lewis—to his acknowledged master.
Peter Kreeft is a professor of philosophy at Boston College and at the King’s College in New York City. He is a regular contributor to several Christian publications, is in wide demand as a speaker at conferences, and is the author of over fifty-five books, including Christianity for Modern Pagans, The Philosophy of…

While conservatives are presumed to be critical of Darwin’s theory, many on the right, such as George Will, James Q. Wilson, and Larry Arnhart, have mounted a vigorous defense of Darwinism. As Discovery Institute’s John West explains in his book, Darwin’s Conservatives: The Misguided Quest, their attempts to reconcile conservatism and Darwinian biology misunderstand both.
In this small but incisive book, Dr. West addresses how Darwin’s theory, contrary to its conservative champions, manifestly does not reinforce the teachings of conservatism. According to West, Darwinism promotes moral relativism rather than traditional morality. It fosters utopianism rather than limited government. It is corrosive, rather than supportive, of both free will and religious belief. Finally, and most importantly, Darwinian evolution is in tension with the scientific evidence, and conservatism cannot hope to strengthen itself by relying on Darwinism’…
