Hope for Christianity

Revisado: 01-26-23

As some who has miraculously escaped the dark dungeon of traditionalism (of the Catholic and Orthodox variety) DBH is the breath of fresh air that I need. I am very grateful for his work, and this one especially.

A Path for Hope in Faith

Revisado: 01-22-23

I should begin by making the obvious observation that David Bentley Hart’s writing style (and topics) are not for everyone, or perhaps even a minority of people. However, I do not mean this as a criticism, for the depth of insight required for proper explication of such theological inquiries is manifold. However, I did find reading to be more difficult than listening as far as absorption of his vocabulary. Needless to say this is the only book I have ever listened to at a consistent 0.9 speed level, though I am grateful that it has proved to be much more enjoyable.

The way that DBH speaks about God is proper to his name. I have become weary of all the theologians who are still embalmed within the tiresome Aristotelian-Thomist language. At the particular stage in intellectual development that I happen to be in, I have regarded his work with an immense joy for providing me with the kind of concepts that I need. He gives words that are able to supply the intuitions that I have been having. Overall, I am renewed with a hope for Christianity after coming to know his work.

Great Narration

Revisado: 06-07-22

I will not comment on the story all that much, as it fits other Dostoyevsky novels, from which I very much enjoyed. What I loved most about this recording was the narrator. He, more than any other, captures the spirit of the characters in these novels, and I look forward to purchasing the other recordings done by Vintage Classics (I really hope they do do audio versions of the other Vintage books by Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy). The voice of Rogozhin was superbly played, but all of the character voices were excellent in that regard.

Sensible Adaptation

Revisado: 09-17-21

After hearing the endless stream of catastrophic claims over the destruction of the world due to climate change, this was a much needed reality check. Everyone should read this book, and realise that it is not all bad. The world is not going to end, and humanity is going to be much better off in the coming century than ever before.

A Wakeup Call to all Complacent Christians

Revisado: 10-27-20

This book demonstrates how much America has fallen behind in the religious values that it was founded upon. It gives no excuse for those Christians who espouse worldly virtues while still claiming to hold the mantle of Jesus Christ. It is time to decide who you are, and what you want to be. Will you serve the world or God? You cannot choose both.

Essential for everyone

Revisado: 09-18-20

In a political climate which increasingly favors the hyperbolic zero sum contests among class differences, racial differences, employer to employee differences etc. this book is essential to sobering those thoughts. There were many times in this book where I actually broke out into laughter because some of these ideas are so basic, so rational, yet are so often looked over in favor of ideas that are flat out wrong. Thomas Sowell writes in such a way as to leave the reader, having ever considered such previous irrational thoughts, dumbfounded in ever holding those ideas to be true. If everyone had a basic understanding of what was in this book, the world would be a more prosperous and free. Tragically, this is not the case, and we may be doomed to repeat the same mistakes that humanity has kept making since the beginning, over and over again.
