Excerpt from The Alienation of Church and People Nothing substantial of all the achievements of Christian history will be lost in this reconstruction of theology which has been under taken by liberal theologians. Ere long they will accomplish their task, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. But until that time the alienation between the Church and modern thought will continue. It will probably increase in the United States of America, rather than diminish, through the present generation. But early in the next century we may hope that a new theology will advance to the front of human learning and will become once more the mother and queen of all truth.

Now a Washington Post bestseller. Respected conservative journalist and commentator Timothy P. Carney continues the conversation begun with Hillbilly Elegy and the classic Bowling Alone in this hard-hitting analysis that identifies the true factor behind the decline of the American dream: it is not purely the result of economics as the left claims, but the collapse of the institutions that made us successful, including marriage, church, and civic life. During the 2016 presidential campaign, Donald J. Trump proclaimed, “the American dream is dead,” and this message resonated across the country. Why do so many people believe that the American dream is no longer within reach? Growing inequality, stubborn pockets of immobility, rising rates of deadly addiction, the increasing and troubling fact that where you start determines where you end up, heightening political strife—these are the disturbing realities threatening ordinary American lives today. The standard accounts pointed to economic problems among the working class, but the root was a cultural collapse: While the educated and wealthy elites still enjoy strong communities, most blue-collar Americans lack strong communities and institutions that bind them to their neighbors. And outside of the elites, the central American institution has been religion That is, it’s not the factory closings that have torn us apart; it’s the church closings. The dissolution of our most cherished institutions—nuclear families, places of worship, civic organizations—has not only divided us, but eroded our sense of worth, belief in opportunity, and connection to one another. In Abandoned America, Carney visits all corners of America, from the dim country bars of Southwestern Pennsylvania., to the bustling Mormon wards of Salt Lake City, and explains the most important data and research to demonstrate how the social connection is the great divide in America. He shows that Trump’s surprising victory was the most visible symptom of this deep-seated problem. In addition to his detailed exploration of how a range of societal changes have, in tandem, damaged us, Carney provides a framework that will lead us back out of a lonely, modern wilderness.

Excerpt from The Princeton Seminary Bulletin, Vol. 55: January, 1962 When the World Alliance of Re formed and Presbyterian Churches met in Sao Paulo, Brazil, in 1959 to discuss The Servant Lord and His Servant People, it was in the awareness that the Church is faced with a situation that is new and unprecedented. One report referred to the Church's having been planted throughout the world as a testimony to the saving power of the Gospel, and, at the same time, to the world's increasing alienation from the spirit of the Gospel. In the face of this alienation the Church has become con fused both at home and abroad and has adopted the stance of theological co existence. She is confused before the resurgence of the old ethnic religions, baffled by the increasing secularization of life, and she has begun to wonder openly if there is any word from the Lord, with the lurking suspicion that if the answer is affirmative that word is not to be heard within the Church. No more pressing problem faces the Church than that of mission, her own mission to the world in which she has been planted and for which she is responsible. She must discover anew in our own time the reality of the Church militant. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Christian Idea of Sacrifice: A Discourse Preached at the Dedication of the Church of the Messiah, Montreal, on Sunday, 12th September, 1858 If we can find in the nature of the case an adequate explanation of the origin of sacrifice we are not called on the accepted rules of investigation rather forbid us to seek any other. The custom fell into fearful and most hideous abuse, as when human beings were made victims, and even parents offered their children. The fact that human sacrifices have been almost, if not quite univers ally, prevalent among the various tribes and nations of the earth, stands as a sad commentary on the natural and unguided proclivities of the human race. Deep in the recesses of the forest the Druid slew his victims. High up on the pyramid, and upon a block of jaspar the Aztec priest officiated at his horrid rites. In the rude ritual ofthe ancient Canaanites the cry of burning children was lost to hearing in the savage din of drums and trumpets. In such sacrifices we see the most awful and revolting perversion of the religious sentiment which the history of man affords. An abuse so shocking and unnatural could exist only among people where right ideas of God had faded away, and the prevailing deity had become the reflected image of some of the worst human passions. It must have come from the feeling of alienation. They felt that. Their God stood wrathfully apart from them, and such ieous sacrifices were designed to propitia'e him. This feeling of alienation is natural to man. His con science tells him how far he falls short of - how much he sins against his ideal excellence. His own moral na ture is offended, and surely so likewise must his God be offended. No victim short of the most precious, or that which will fully represent what is most precious, is adequate to express his regret for the separation, and the most precious is offered. The child is given by the pa rent, in some cases the monarch is taken from the throne, for the sacrifice. The captive taken in war is brought to the altar, and through the crifice of that human life, as representing that which is most precious upon earth, the worshipper seeks to placate his God. The sacrifices are offered will the God accept them, and be appeased and conciliated'! In some such way do I satisfy myself con earning the origin of such fearful abuse Lf sacrifice.

Excerpt from Divine and Human Rights, or the Westminster Confession and the Constitution of the United States Tested by the Holy Scriptures So long as church courts leave their members free to vote or not, as they may think proper, the discussion ofthe question of allegiance to the constitution should produce no alienation of brotherly love. It belongs to those who cannot vote, to bear with their brethren who can, or secede. Those who do vote have no right to take ofi'ence at such as do not, so long as their own liberty remains untouched. Yet, there is a disposition in many of the voters to persecute non-voters, which is wrong, and a sad evidence of a bad cause.

The second volume of riveting memoirs from Hans Kung, the leading - and controversial - theologian. Hans Küng has been a major influence on post-war Christianity by any reckoning. A peritus for the second Vatican council, he then went on to publish a number of controversial books, including Infallible? An Enquiry (1971), which enraged the Vatican and caused him to lose the ecclesiastical approval of his teaching at the university of Tübingen. However, he remains a respected priest in good standing with his bishop. Throughout all the upheavals that the Catholic Church has undergone in recent decades, Küng has been an outspoken observer, turning himself from enfant terrible to béte noire. However his world influence has been great. Whether speaking at the United Nations or consorting with politicians and religious leaders, he is always listened to with respect and enthusiasm. A string of recent books has added to his reputation-notably On Being a Christian (1974) and Does God Exist? An Answer for Today (1980) What is not so well known is that, as a young man, Küng was a close friend and confidant of Joseph Ratzinger (Benedict XVI). Over the years, however, they increasingly came to represent exactly what the other most despised. On being appointed to the Holy See, Ratzinger had a long private meeting with Küng , the consequences of which may resonate within the Catholic Church for many years. In these thrilling memoirs Küng gives his personal account of all these struggles and ambitions. The result is a book of major importance for any student of the church in the 20th century. This second volume covers the period following the close of the Second Vatican Council right up to the present day.

The essential concerns of conservatism are the same as those that motivated Nisbet's first and most influential book. The Quest for Community. In fact, Conservatism unites virtually all of Nisbet's work. In it, Nisbet deals with the political causes of the manifold forms of alienation that underwrite the human quest for community. The sovereign political state is more than a legal relationship of a superstructure of power, it is inseparable from its successive penetrations of man's economic, religious, kinship and local allegiances, and its revolutionary dislocations of established centers of power. Nisbet holds that although political philosophers are often conceived in terms of their views of the individual and the state, a more useful approach adds the factor of social groups or communities mediating between the individual and the state. Such groups comprise "society" the protection of which is the "sole object" of the conservative tradition, according to Nisbet. This conservative ideology arose in the West as a reaction to the French Revolution and its perceived impact upon traditional society. Edmund Burke was the first spokesman of the new ideology. In this book, Nisbet argues that modern conservatism throughout the West can be seen as a widening of Burke's indictment not only of the French Revolution, but of the larger revolution we have come to call modernity. From Edmund Burke and his contemporaries such as Bonald, de Maistre, Haller, and Savigny, down to T.S. Eliot, Christopher Dawson, Michael Oakeshott, Irving Babbit, Paul Elmer More, and Russell Kirk, the essential themes of political conservatism remained the same. They are centered upon history, tradition, property, authority, liberty and religion, and attack equally the political collectivism and radical individualism that have the same irrational outcomes. Nisbet makes the point that, at present, conservatism is also in a crisis, one created in large measure by mixing in the political arena economic liberalism and welfare state socialism - a lethal mix for conservative politics.
