Description
This resource is assigned to Classical Conversations parents with students doing the Challenge II level (grades 10+). The author asks you to look at art and society and their secular influence on the Christian. As students are negotiating their place in the world, parents can use the research in the book to guide their reasoning. There is plenty of strong opinion in this book that you may agree or disagree with, but that is sort of the point - to make you think about how secular influences are all around us and how you choose to handle that influence in your own life. ~Sara
Publisher's Description of Saving Leonardo
Is secularism a positive force in the modern world? Or does it lead to fragmentation and disintegration? In Saving Leonardo, best-selling award-winning author Nancy Pearcey (Total Truth, coauthor How Now Shall We Live?) makes a compelling case that secularism is destructive and dehumanizing.
Pearcey depicts the revolutionary thinkers and artists, the ideas and events, leading step by step to the unleashing of secular worldviews that undermine human dignity and liberty. She crafts a fresh approach that exposes the real-world impact of ideas in philosophy, science, art, literature, and film--voices that surround us in the classroom, in the movie theater, and in our living rooms.
A former agnostic, Pearcey offers a persuasive case for historic Christianity as a holistic and humane alternative. She equips readers to counter the life-denying worldviews that are radically restructuring society and pervading our daily lives. Whether you are a devoted Christian, determined secularist, or don't know quite where you stand, reading Saving Leonardo will unsettle established views and topple ideological idols. Includes more than 100 art reproductions and illustrations that bring the book's themes to life.
