Christendom and the West

In Christendom and the West Thomas Storck devotes several essays to the culture of the United States, asking whether that culture, and in particular its universities, are faithful to historic Western civilization or are symptoms of the disintegration and decline of Christian culture. Storck focuses on the roots of Western culture as a fusion of the Catholic faith and the learning of the Greeks and Romans. No one who is interested in the ways in which the Catholic faith forms and interacts with cultures will be disappointed in this book.
