America s two greatest strengths her liberal democratic culture and her free-market economy have made her a global superpower. But left unchecked, these two strengths can become great cultural weaknesses, sowing selfishness, recklessness, and apathy. In "Resurrecting the Idea of a Christian Society," theologian R. R. Reno argues that America needs a renewal of Christian ideals ideals that encourage self-sacrifice, responsibility, and solidarity. Drawing on T.S. Eliot s 1940 essay The Idea of a Christian Society, Reno shows how Christianity encourages an abiding ambition for higher things and a moral vision that can strengthen communities and transform America into a truly great nation."
