Pascal

Pierre Manent’s Challenge to Modern Atheism  

By
Pascal’s theology is sublime, beautiful, and all-consuming. But it reflects the life of a celibate mystic rather than that of the statesman who must transmit Christian culture. Statesmen after all must wager.

By
Was the removal and arrest of Nicolas Maduro justified according to the just war tradition? The answer is yes, with a small caveat.
Israel

What Is Zionism? What Is Christian Zionism? 

By
Basic decency provides more than enough grounds for Christians to oppose hateful and irrational attacks against Jews and Israel. We should treat these episodes as tests of our courage and discernment, because that’s exactly what they are. 
Harvard Law

The Return to Tradition in the Law 

By
If feats like the medieval preservation and subsequent revival of Roman law show us anything, it is that the steady, often thankless work of patient scholarship and steady teaching can provide sound footing on dry land. 
Plato

Gorgias and Good Rhetors: A Response to Thomas Schacht 

By
Taking all things together and balancing the good with the bad, you have not a moral horror, but a very good country indeed, which is why people from around the world still yearn to come here. If anyone tells you otherwise, he’s a lying rhetor.

The Virtues as the Superhabits of Human Success 

By
What we need is a restoration of virtue in our land, in order to tame the strong gods and ensure that their power serves the good—so that the return to reality is marked not by domination, but by integrity, not by chaos, but by character.

Coercion and Religion 

By
Religion needs the power of government, but not in the way some think.

Solidarity, Communion, and The City of God

Boys Need Stories, Too 

By
There is not—in literature or in life—the well-formed male equivalent of an Anne of Green Gables or a Jo March. Those girls live to read. For boys, it works best the other way around.

By
What might have seemed like the next progressive triumph-in-waiting is instead running off the rails. How? Why?

Remembering Twain 

By
Chernow’s biography denies us the gift that Mark Twain would so generously bestow on his fellow Americans. For her 250th birthday, America deserves better.
