Saving Leonardo

a call to resist the secular assault on mind morals & meaning
Nancy Pearcey
Book - 2010

"Is secularism a positive force in the modern world, or does it lead to fragmentation and disintegration? 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..."--Dust cover flap.
