  • The West and the Rest

    Globalization and the Terrorist Threat

    by Roger Scruton ...
    Scruton shows how the different religious and philosophical roots of Western and Islamic societies have resulted in those societies' profoundly divergent beliefs about the nature of political order.

  • The Suicide of Reason

    Radical Islam's Threat to the West

    by Lee Harris ...
    Whether by choice or not, the West finds itself in a low-grade yet bitter war with Islamic fanaticism. It is a war the West is singularly ill-equipped to fight.

  • Taming the Gods

  • Shall the Religious Inherit the Earth?

    Demography and Politics in the Twenty-First Century

William T. Cavanaugh challenges this conventional wisdom by examining how the twin categories of religion and the ... Read more

  • The New Anti-Catholicism

    The Last Acceptable Prejudice

    by Philip Jenkins ...
    Anti-Catholicism has a long history in America. And as Philip Jenkins argues in The New Anti-Catholicism, this virulent strain of hatred--once thought dead--is alive and well in our nation, but few people seem to notice, or care. A statement that is seen as racist, misogynistic, anti-Semitic, or homophobic can haunt a speaker for years, writes Jenkins, but it is still possible to make hostile and ... Read more
