Reseñas editoriales
In Worshipping the State: How Liberalism Became Our State Religion, author Benjamin Wiker asserts that America is being de-Christianized by liberals. Wiker uses a stockpile of historical data to prove that, since the dawn of Rome, liberals in the West have always sought to de-Christianze the state. Wiker believes that the founding fathers did not intend to secularize America, and that without Christianity America loses its moral foundation. Wiker’s exhaustive investigation of history is easy to appreciate, as is his calm rhetoric. For Wiker, liberals have usually ultimately lost their bid to replace god with government. Outlined here is Wiker’s comprehensive plan for remaking the state as a faith-based institution. Ken Maxon narrates this 23-hour tome with resounding sincerity.
Resumen del Editor
Many Christians feel that they are being opposed at every turn by what seems to be a well-orchestrated political and cultural campaign to de-Christianize every aspect of Western culture. They are right, and it goes even further back than the Obama Administration. In Worshipping the State: How Liberalism Became Our State Religion, Benjamin Wiker argues that it is liberals who seek to establish an official state religion: one of unbelief. Wiker reveals that it was never the intention of the Founders to drive religion out of the public square with the First Amendment, but secular liberals have deliberately misinterpreted the establishment clause to serve their own ends: the de-Christianization of Western civilization. The result, they hope, is government as the new oracle. Personal faith in a deity is replaced with collective dependence on government, and the diversity of religious practices and dogmas is reduced to a uniform ideological agenda. The liberal strategy is two-pronged: drive religion out of the public square, and then, in religion's place, erect the Church of the State to fill the human need for a higher power to look up to.
But what was done can be undone. Outlining a simple, step-by-step strategy for disestablishing the state church of liberalism, Worshiping the State shows the full historical sweep of the war to those on the Christian side of the cultural battle - and as a consequence of this far more complete vantage, how to win it.

Best-selling author Richard E. Rubenstein brings the past to life in this engrossing story of social, religious, and scientific revolution during one of the darkest periods in European history. When a group of Dark Ages scholars rediscovered the works of Aristotle, the great thinker's ideas ignited a firestorm of enlightened thought. This is the endlessly fascinating account of the pivotal period in history when the modern era took root.

This incisive history upends the complacency that confines anti-Judaism to the ideological extremes in the Western tradition. With deep learning and elegance, David Nirenberg shows how foundational anti-Judaism is to the history of the West. Questions of how we are Jewish and, more critically, how and why we are not have been churning within the Western imagination throughout its history. Ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans; Christians and Muslims of every period; even the secularists of modernity have used Judaism in constructing their visions of the world.

For five centuries, Martin Luther has been lionized as an outspoken and fearless icon of change who ended the Middle Ages and heralded the beginning of the modern world. In Rebel in the Ranks, Brad Gregory, renowned professor of European history at Notre Dame, recasts this long-accepted portrait. Luther did not intend to start a revolution that would divide the Catholic Church and forever change Western civilization. Yet his actions would profoundly shape our world in ways he could never have imagined.

Historia
When the Emperor Constantine converted to Christianity in 368 AD, he changed the course of European history in ways that continue to have repercussions to the present day. Adopting those aspects of the religion that suited his purposes, he turned Rome on a course from the relatively open, tolerant, and pluralistic civilization of the Hellenistic world, towards a culture that was based on the rule of fixed authority, whether that of the Bible, or the writings of Ptolemy in astronomy and of Galen and Hippocrates in medicine.

Historia
In this original and riveting exploration, Susan Jacoby argues that conversion - especially in the free American "religious marketplace" - is too often viewed only within the conventional and simplistic narrative of personal reinvention and divine grace. Instead, the author places conversions within a secular social context that has, at various times, included the force of a unified church and state, desire for upward economic mobility, and interreligious marriage.

Where did the ideas come from that became the cornerstone of American democracy? Not only the erudite Thomas Jefferson, the wily and elusive Ben Franklin, and the underappreciated Thomas Paine, but also Ethan Allen, the hero of the Green Mountain Boys, and Thomas Young, the forgotten Founder who kicked off the Boston Tea Party. These radicals who founded America set their sights on a revolution of the mind. Derided as "infidels" and "atheists" in their own time, they wanted to liberate us not just from one king but from the tyranny of supernatural religion.

In A.D. 381, Theodosius, emperor of the eastern Roman empire, issued a decree in which all his subjects were required to subscribe to a belief in the Trinity of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. This edict defined Christian orthodoxy and brought to an end a lively and wide-ranging debate about the nature of God; all other interpretations were now declared heretical.

Historia
What does it mean to say that we live in a secular age? Almost everyone would agree that we - in the West, at least - largely do. And clearly the place of religion in our societies has changed profoundly in the last few centuries. In what will be a defining book for our time, Charles Taylor takes up the question of what these changes mean - of what, precisely, happens when a society in which it is virtually impossible not to believe in God becomes one in which faith, even for the staunchest believer, is only one human possibility among others.

Historia
For a generation now, public debate has been corroded by a shrill, narrow derision of religion in the name of an often vaguely understood “science.” John Gray’s stimulating and enjoyable new book, Seven Types of Atheism, describes the complex, dynamic world of older atheisms, a tradition that is, he writes, in many ways intertwined with and as rich as religion itself.

Although Christian believers agreed with one another that the Bible was authoritative and that it should be interpreted through commonsense principles, there was rampant disagreement about what Scripture taught about slavery. Furthermore, most Americans continued to believe that God ruled over the affairs of people and nations, but they were radically divided in their interpretations of what God was doing in and through the war.

Why do martyrs exist?
Every Christian or non-Christian intellectual should read this book, as it provides a very Big Picture image of the political meaning of Christianity.
If you’re the kind of Christian who feels peculiarly ambivalent about politics, there is a reason for that. And people were not martyred just because they dared to say that loving is good, and hating is bad.

Wow!
In this audiobook (which I listened to twice), Dr. Wiker takes us through a very different overview of Liberalism. He covers its origins (largely the sixteen and seventeen hundreds), and its current role in the various societies within which it may be found. If the listener considers himself a conservative or a libertarian; he will find that some of his historical heroes were benighted with a deist's worldview. And, due to my Christian beliefs; I of course cannot embrace deism.
Deism taken by itself though, has generally not been a disqualifier in determining who I may admire or perhaps venerate (for example Thomas Jefferson). But if one takes to heart the connection (which is extensively demonstrated in this audiobook) between deism and secular liberalism; some of my former "heroes" (including Thomas Jefferson) were tinctured with a philosophy which seeks nothing less than the complete eradication of Christianity - not a benevolent condescension toward it, but its ultimate eradication!
In the interest of fairness to Dr. Wiker, it must be said that he did not indict with animus those who had fallen prey to secular liberalism. His overriding focus throughout this audiobook, was to help the listener to both see and understand the genesis of secular liberalism, and its detrimental impact particularly on America. My takeaway of this situation as it currently stands, is that we are truly in dire circumstances! Or to put it in another way; there is a lot of work that must be done to remedy the situation. Dr. Wiker's recommendation is to take back the universities, wherein the impetus of secular liberalism exists. Can this be done? My thought is that if the government's financing were removed, perhaps it could.
Finally, in my view Ken Maxon was a poor choice in the reading of the text of this audiobook. He unfortunately sounded as though he were reading a bedtime story. A more powerful performance would have greatly benefited this particular material.
