It argues that contemporary Christian thought and practice, insofar as they are moved away from the center, usually in the name of social action or ecology, have changed the essential meaning and purpose of human life in the Christian tradition. Christianity has always been concerned with the common man. It has not doubted his finiteness and hi ..." |

 | | On the Principles of Taxing Beer(1st Edition) and Other Brrief Philosophical Essays by James V. Schall Hardcover, 184 Pages, Published 2018 by St. Augustines Press ISBN-13: 978-1-58731-615-9, ISBN: 1-58731-615-3 "What is real and what is noble, as well as what is deranged and wrong, can often be stated briefly. Nietzsche was famous for his succinct aphorisms and epigrams. Aquinas in one of his responses could manage to state clearly what he held to be true. Ultimately, all of our thought needs to be so refined and concentrated that we can see the point. So these are "brief" essays and they are largely of a philosophical "hue." They touch on thin ..." |

But it is primarily a book about the many things that are, the infinity of particular things, as well as the highest things, both of which come to us primarily by gift and superabundance. The wonder, indeed the amazement, of our existence is not that there is so little, but so much. And it is intrinsic to thi ..." |

I found myself inclined—almost forced—to pause after every section and think about Schall’s words.” —Touchstone“Schal ..." |

The abiding undercurrent of this book is that the cosmos, the universe, does not ..." |

We are likewise tempted to identify what is most up-to-date with what is true. But to be up-to-date is to be out-of-date. If we find what is really true in any age, it will be true in all ages. This proposition is central to this book. Moreover, what is true will appear in different guises, as will what is false. The “modern age” had often conside ..." |
