Overview

Can we create a Christian culture in a post-Christian world? There was a time when society itself was inspired by Christian principles. But for many, Christendom's failure to stop revolution and world war in the twentieth century have discredited Christianity itself. The alternative? A neo-pagan and transhumanist society that has lost touch with beauty and that glorifies banality and diversity as ends in themselves. In Foundations of Christian Culture, Russian religious and political philosopher Ivan Ilyin presents a practical guide for Christians seeking to reclaim culture in a disillusioned, post-Christian world.

"""I've read this multiple times already and it still amazes me how insightfully written and translated it is."" - Eric Swenson ""Nicholas Kotar has done us a great service in sharing the wisdom of Ivan Ilyan with a new audience. It describes the Christ and Christianity that I fell in love with; a faith that natural creates beauty and fills the soul with joy. The essays at the end (to include one by Kotar himself) are also excellent. The language and concepts are simple, easy to follow, and profound. I plan on sharing this book widely!"" - DAPerkins ""Worth reading. Apropos today."" - J. Gibson ""When I hear ""culture"" I immediately think geopolitics, sociology and small t traditions. This book doesn't talk about any of that! As a pragmatic Western Christian, I was blown away with this book's view of art & beauty as the formative ingredients of culture and indeed the sum and substance of Christian culture. The eastern mind on this topic is a very refreshing point of view. Very easy & accessible read. 5 stars & highly recommended. 😎👍"" - Jason Schultz"
