In Saving Leonardo, best-selling award-winning author Nancy Pearcey (Total Truth, co-author How Now Shall We Live?) makes a compelling case that secularism is destructive and dehumanizing. Pearcey depicts the revolutionary thinkers and artists, the ideas and events, leading step by step to the unleashing of secular world-views that undermine human dignity and liberty. She crafts a fresh approach that exposes the real-world impact of ideas in philosophy, science, art, literature, and film - voices that surround us in the classroom, in the movie theater, and in our living rooms. A former agnostic, Pearcey offers a persuasive case for historic Christianity as a holistic and humane alternative. She equips readers to counter the life-denying world-views that are radically restructuring society and pervading our daily lives. Whether you are a devoted Christian, determined secularist, or don't know quite where you stand, reading Saving Leonardo will unsettle established views and topple ideological idols." - from the inner front jacket flap. "A feast for the mind and for the eye. Nancy Pearcey not only is a trustworthy guide for a nuanced discussion on the relationship between culture and the gospel, but she is a gifted teacher as well . Saving Leonardo is a rare, precious gift to the churches and universities alike." - Makoto Fujimura, artist and author. "G.K. Chesterton said "the danger when Men stop believing in God is not that they'll believe in nothing; but that they will believe in anything.' Nancy Pearcey understands where believing in anything leads and in this book she reveals where a secular philosophy is taking us. A balanced, fair, and impacting work!" - Cal Thomas, syndicated and USA Today columnist. ". Saving Leonardo should be put in the hands of all those who should always be ready to give an answer - and that means all of us." - R. Albert Mohler, Jr., President, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. "Nancy Pearcey has done it again and better than ever. She has taken the complex sophistication of the best cultural analysis and laid it out for any person to grasp, enjoy and use to live out their daily lives honoring Christ. An astounding accomplishment!" - James W. Sire, author. "Saving Leonardo is a tour de force. In it, Pearcey provides a penetrating analysis of the nature of contemporary secularism, a helpful exposition of how we got to the present situation, and a well-crafted strategy for changing the situation. This is her best effort yet . a must read." - J.P. Moreland, Distinguished Professor of Philosophy, Biola University and author. "Nancy Pearcey is unsurpassed in the current generaton of Christian thinkers . the magic continues with this book. Pearcey's virtues as a writer and thinker are once again fully evident in the range of material that she has mastered, the encyclopedic collection of data that she presents, and the analytic rigor with which she separates truth from error in world-views. She is a prophetic voice for contemporary Christians." - Leland Ryken, Clyde S. Kilby Professor of English, Wheaton College. "Brilliant . The book brings complex, abstract ideas down-to-earth- or, rather, down-to-life .Saving Leonardo bridges the gaps between the arts and the sciences, the theoretical and the practical. The book not only argues for the unity of Christian truth but exemplifies that unity and shows it in action." - Gene Edward Veith, Provost, Patrick Henry College. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 005218
