"Do you believe human life is inherently valuable? Unfortunately, in the secularized age of state-sanctioned euthanasia and abortion-on-demand, many are losing faith in the simple value of human life. To the disillusioned, human beings are a cosmic accident whose intrinsic value is worth no more than other animals. "The Death of Humanity" explores our culture's declining respect for the sanctity of human life, drawing on philosophy and h ..."

"For a man whom history can never forget, Adolf Hitler remains a persistent mystery on one fronthis religious faith. Atheists tend to insist Hitler was a devout Christian.

Delving more deeply into the question of Hitler's religious faith than any researcher to ..."

"Though some historians point to tactical and pragmatic considerations behind
Hitler's decision to attack, most concede that Hitler's Lebensraum philosophy
played a crucial role in the decision-making process. In his private monologs
Hitler clearly interpreted the Eastern campaign as a struggle for living space. In
September 1941, as German armies advanced through Soviet territory, Hitler told
his colleagues that the real dividing l ..."

"In this arresting new study of Bonhoeffer as a theologian and as an activist, Weikart carefully and persuasively argues that Bonhoeffer's postwar reputation as an anti-Nazi martyr has subsumed aspects of his religious and cultural beliefs and praxis to the detriment of both. Dietrich Bonhoeffer suffered for his moral courage and his anti-Nazis activities. Professor Richard Weikart argues that Bonhoeffer's theology has also suffered a te ..."

"As Weikart also shows, these ideas circulate today among white nationalists and neo-Nazis, who routinely use Darwinian theory in their propaganda to advance a racist agenda. Darwinian Racism is careful history. It is also a wake-up call."
"Human Zoos tells the shocking story of how thousands of indigenous peoples were put on public display in America in the early decades of the twentieth century. Often touted as "missing links" between man and apes, these native peoples were harassed and demeaned. Their public display was arranged with the enthusiastic support of the most elite members of the scientific community, and it was promoted uncritically by America's leading news ..."

"Lang geleden herinnerde filosoof Richard Weaver ons eraan dat 'ideeen gevolgen hebben'. Die gevolgen, zo legt Richard Weikart uit, komen ons duur te staan en kunnen echt beangstigend zijn."
"Als Charles Darwin im Jahr 1859 seine Theorie einer Evolution der Arten durch naturliche Auslese veroffentlichte, sah er bereits eine grosse Debatte voraus, jedoch nicht deren Ausstrahlungskraft und Langlebigkeit. Zu Beginn standen die Folgen fur die Wissenschaften, den Glauben an Gott und die Moralvorstellungen im Vordergrund. Bald kamen Uberlegungen uber Gesellschaft, Politik, internationale Beziehungen und uber Eingriffe bis hinunter ..."
