Sample Book Insights:

#1 The prevailing social vision of our time is the intellectual and political elite’s view of society. It is not that these views are particularly evil or erroneous, but rather that they are taken for granted by so many people that their assumptions and corollaries are rarely challenged.

#2 The prevailing vision of our time is that of a special state of grace for those who believe in it. Those who disagree are not seen as being just in error, but in sin.

#3 The differences between the two visions are not just personal, but reflect a difference in moral philosophy as well. The left sees itself as morally superior to the right, and uses compassion as a weapon against its opponents.

#4 The prevailing vision of our time is the exaltation of the anointed above others. It has permeated academia and the media, and has made major inroads into the religious community.
