Essays on the Christian Worldview and Others Political, Literary, and Philosophical

by Andrew J. Schatkin

Overview

This collection of essays and thoughts covers such areas as basic Christian thought, which includes traditional family morality and a great concern for alleviating poverty and promoting social justice, political thought comparing the need for a system which includes both socialist and capitalist elements, and the need for values in our society, which has come to emphasize money, power, and greed as philosophical goals and values, though they are not. The book also has thoughts concerning literature, a consideration of what constitutes true progress, the denial in our society of any absolute moral truth, and the substitution of moral relativism as a mistaken ethical system.

Editorial Reviews

Exhausted by the perishing morals of our society, Andrew J. Schatkin reminds that the Holy Bible is not a book of recommendations, but divine words to better our lives and enhance nations. Whether or not you agree with the author's conclusions, he explores a wide variety of contemporary issues that force us to engage in tortuous exercise to find the right answers. Intellectually stimulating, this book will leave the reader richer, wiser, and well informed.
