For much of the second half of the twentieth century, America's
courts--state and federal--have injected themselves into what many
critics consider to be fundamentally moral or political disputes.
By constitutionalizing these disputes, many feel that the courts
have reduced the ability of Americans to engage in traditional,
political modes of settling differences over issues that excite
particular passion. While legal discourse is well suited to
choosing decisive winners and losers, political discourse is
perhaps more conducive to reasonable compromise and accommodation.
In Courts and the Culture Wars Bradley C. S. Watson has brought
together some of America's most distinguished names in
constitutional theory and practice to consider the impact of
judicial engagement in the moral, religious, and cultural
realms--including such issues as school prayer, abortion, gay
rights, and expressive speech.
"The bookshelf next to my desk holds Christian classics and
books I refer to often. Idols sits on that shelf, for Herb's lucid
critique has been an invaluable reference for my own writings. It
helps believers to understand the ideologies that undergird secular
culture, and how they dramatically--and dangerously--differ from
the Judeo-Christian view based on adherence to absolute truth."
--Charles Colson, Prison Fellowship
"Well-written and highly readable... discerning and critical
analysis of our times; a stimulating contribution." --Carl F. H.
Henry
"This book has become a vade mecum for thousands of Christians
who understand the cultural disaster of our time and are determined
to do something about it." --Richard John Neuhaus, Editor-in-chief,
First Things
"Now that Francis Schaeffer is no longer with us, Schlossberg is
just about the most provocative Christian thinker around." --Harold
O. J. Brown, Professor of Theology, Trinity Evangelical Divinity
School
"Years before anyone talked about an American 'culture war, '
Herb Schlossberg penned an acute description of the crisis of
virtue that is the domestic issue of the 1990s. His diagnosis
remains essential reading for everyone who believes that
self-governing republic requires self-governing and morally serious
citizens." --George Weigel, President, Ethics and Public Policy
Center
"Thorough, provocative and especially penetrating. If you want
to think Christianly about culture Idols for Destruction is must
reading " --John H. White, President, Geneva College
