of
My Life among the Deathworks: Illustrations of the Aesthetics of Authority:
"The most important, sophisticated work of cultural criticism since Eliot’s Christianity and Culture. It’s rivaled only by Rieff’s earlier book, The Triumph of the Therapeutic.
Let the reader be warned that this book is not for the faint of heart. Rie" Read more of this review » |

Eric's review
of
My Life among the Deathworks: Illustrations of the Aesthetics of Authority:
"To say that Rieff writes with tortured syntax is to give him too much credit. Writing style aside, Rieff in fact is very clear about the current status of the West, after the effects of the culture wars (which he pushes back for at least 200 years, a"

Much can be said about this text that I do not have time to write. The editors, Sutanto and Brock, deserve much credit for clarifying and making Bavinck more accessible. This text needs to be read along with the explanations of this text that Brock a ...more |

More to write about this later... This is a very good read to better understand H. Bavinck's ideas on epistemology and revelation. Sutanto explains Bavinck well and adds additional substance and depth. Somehow, Sutanto explains my own thinking to me b ...more |

“I look upon every good man, as a good book, lent by its owner for another to read, and transcribe the excellent notions and golden passages that are in it for his own benefit, that they may return with him when the owner shall call for the book again: but in case this excellent book shall be thrown into a corner and no use made of it, it justly provokes the owner to take it away in displeasure. --Funeral of John Upton, Esq”

“In an appalling irony, this moral reasoning has made abortion the leading cause of death for black lives in America. Every year, well in excess of a quarter of a million unborn black children are lost through abortion. In New York City, more black babies are aborted than are born alive. This is justice?”
