The Christian criticism of life

Description:

This book contrasts the ethically and intellectually deadening effects of the cult of science and mathematics with the culturally invigorating ones that are the result of the proper study of language and literature. The author maintains that the Christian worldview naturally tends to cultivate a love for the written word and that a civilization that neglects to do this 1) is not really Christian and 2) is not going to last much longer. This is an inspiring book; I will certainly read it again, unless the post-literate society in which I live manages to kill me before I can.
