“Unruly but Self-Ordering”
Bruce Frohnen and Ted McAllister’s Character in the American Experience
David French, Divided We Fall
The Verdict on the Founding
Robert R. Reilly’s America on Trial: A Defense of the Founding argues that the intellectual roots of the founders’ political theory are found in the Christian understanding of man, society and the world, and in the tradition of natural law thinking that emerged under its aegis. The American founding, he concludes, must be understood as an attempted “re-establishment” of “the principles and practices” of medieval constitutionalism. While finding t…
The Real Western War of Religion
Steven D. Smith’s Pagans and Christians in the City takes its place alongside James Davison Hunter’s Culture Wars as one of the two truly indispensable books on today’s Culture Wars. It advances our understanding of today’s conflict by situating it historically and focusing our attention on its religious dimension. Smith argues that today’s conflict is the latest episode in a longstanding conflict between immanent forms of religiosity which locat…
Dignitatis Humanaeand the Catholic Human Rights Revolution
The promulgation of the Dignitatis Humanae text on religious freedom represented the culmination of a process of transformation of the Catholic Church's stance on human rights.

Since the adoption of …

A Government of Laws
This treatise re-evaluates the traditional understanding of the philosophic and intellectual background of the American founding in light of an assessment of Renaissance, medieval and ancient political philosophy. It shows that the Founding Fathers were consciously seeking to create a political order that would meet the demands of human nature and society. This analysis of their sources of political and constitutional theory hopes to initiate an …
