Books I've Written
Books I Recommend: Søren Kierkegaard. The Sickness unto Death and Works of Love. Two important books by one of the most brilliant Christian thinkers in the modern world. Eric Voegelin. Modernity Without Restraint. Presents three key works by Voegelin that critique modern political disasters, such as Nazism and Communism. Rene Girard. I See Satan Fall Like Lightning. A summary of Girard's mature thought on the Gospels and human culture. David Hart. Atheist Delusions. A brilliant meditation on the impact of Christianity on the Western world. Mark Heim. Saved from Sacrifice: A Theology of the Cross. An excellent treatment of atonement theories, from a Girardian point of view. Chantal Delsol. The Unlearned Lessons of the Twentieth Century. Reflections by a political philosopher on how difficult it is for human beings to change, even in the wake of the Holocaust and other events. Servais Pinckaers. The Sources of Christian Ethics. A Thomist view of the history of moral thought in the West. Giorgio Agamben. Homo Sacer. Thought-provoking reflections on sovereign power and its ability to reduce human beings to "bare life" that can be killed with impunity.
