“Puts [George’s] highly burnished philosophical and constitutional learning on full display. . . . George is exceptionally nimble when he spars with conventional contemporary political and social thought. . . . [George] speaks for a sizable number of conscientious objectors to America’s ruling liberal secularism.”
—New York Times Book Review
“There’s not a dull or insignificant page in the whole volume. . . . I don’t think we get better, or more consequential, commentary on the modern crisis than Mr. George affords us.”
—Washington Times
“Brilliant theoretical argument . . . Should be required reading in colleges across the nation.” —Commentary
“George’s claim to that title [‘This country’s most influential conservative Christian thinker’] is made abundantly clear in this collection of incisive, accessible essays, which seek to expose and confront the dogmas of liberal secularism while also directing and deepening modern conservatism. . . . Intended for a wide audience, the book deserves one.” —Claremont Review of Books
“A primer in civics and a guide to addressing the cultural Leviathan . . . George’s incomparable expertise will give even the most seasoned reader new insights.” —Catholic World Report
Praise for Robert P. George
“A fascinating mind at work: brilliant, of course, and learned, but, above all, tenacious. Robert George is the bulldog of American intellectuals—grasping hold of a topic and refusing to let it go until he’s gotten to the bone.” —Weekly Standard
“This country’s most influential conservative Christian thinker.” —New York Times Magazine
“One of the nation’s most respected legal theorists . . .

[and] a deeply principled conviction, a profound and enduring integrity.” —Elena Kagan, Supreme Court justice
“One of the most incisive legal and moral thinkers working today.” —First Things
“One of contemporary conservatism’s intellectual pinups.” —George F. Will
“George has done a great service in demonstrating that traditional morality still has an authoritative role to play in modern life, and in showing how a person of faith can enter the public square fearlessly, unashamedly, intelligently, and, above all, reasonably.” —National Review
“An indispensable man.” —Touchstone
“Professor George has helped strengthen our nation’s system of ordered liberty by exploring enduring questions of American constitutional law and Western political theory.” —President George W. Bush, in awarding the Presidential Citizens Medal
