In this trenchant analysis of the moral decline of modern America, Lewy describes the moral crisis caused by secular modernity and points to the role of religiousness as a necessary bulwark against today's social ills.
Guenter Lewy is professor of political science at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. His other books include Religion and Revolution and Peace and Revolution: The Moral Crisis of American Pacifism
George Weigel --Ethics and Public Policy Center "Those who accept Lewy's invitation to accompany him on this journey -- whether they agree with his particular judgments or not -- will be enriched by their encounter with a courageous man strong enough to say, 'I've changed my mind.'" Marvin Kohl --State University of New York College at Fredonia "A most engaging, important, and provocative book."
