Resumen del Editor

What does the world get from God? What does the world lose when it loses reason?

For centuries an aggressive secularism has fought to occupy the place once held by religion in Western society. Its intellectual leaders are ambitious. Their goal is to remove God from public discourse and then from memory. While they claimed that godlessness would bring about an era of peace, it brought history’s bloodiest century instead. Civic institutions founded on Judeo-Christian principles began to crumble apart from them. Firm and commonly held ideas - about rights, duties, and dignity - have vanished when their divine origin was denied.

Alberto Martinez Piedra, a respected scholar and former U.S. ambassador, tells the intellectual story of our time in a sweeping overview that places the New Atheism in its proper context and valiantly upholds the greatness and incomparable richness of the Judeo-Christian tradition.

Sir Winston Churchill said in 1948: “Those who fail to learn from history are condemned to repeat it.” This book aims to help opinion leaders and policymakers of today avoid the tragic mistakes of the past.

A Superb Critique of Secularism.

The late Dr. Alberto Martinez Piedra's exhaustive and thoroughly researched "No God, No Civilization," a critique of secularism and its scurrilous bedfellow atheism is also, happily, beautifully and clearly written so that the general reader, as well the scholar, may enjoy this engrossing and impressive book. Piedra makes no empty charges in his vigorous attacks, using extensive citations to support his bold challenges to the seemingly ubiquitous and prevailing intellectual mindset of our present age.

Adding to the enjoyment is Kevin Collins' most enjoyable reading of this important work. Blessed with a rich and pleasant voice, Collins uses his instrument well, modulating it and increasing or decreasing the tempo as suits the text. I look forward to listening to other books read by this talented performer.

Excellent book about the principles and condition of the Western civilization.

The clearness of argument, knowledge and many relevant references make this book an excellent read for both younger and more advanced readers who want to understand the intersection of philosophy, economics, and law looked from the Western civilization’s perspective. I highly recommend it to all interested in the aforementioned topics.
