That random number person keeps going to books and leaving bad reviews. I’ve seen them on at least two other books.

If you want a deep dive into the inner workings of Ben’s mind, then this is the book for you. A ton of great points are made, and he really gets philosophical, which was cool. I recommend this book to anyone with an open mind, and wants a deep understanding of a lot of what’s going on in this day and age.

Ben Shapiro is inbred.

no

Ben Shapiro shows us what the west has built using capitalism, reason and Judeo-Cristianity and how amazing it is, and juxtaposes it to societies that have failed because they rejected those principles. All of the people saying that he wrote this so religious people can feel good about themselves, I think that is rather missing the point. It is about the moral values and standards that Cristianity sets, and not necessarily about the religion itself. And that those principles WORK. It’s not a coincidence that the societies that based themselves on these Fundaments flourished and the ones that rejected it didn’t. I sincerely hope people will be able to look on this insightful and informed work with an objective eye and possibly have it opened. America is worth living and fighting for. The references were so good I ended up using it for my report comparing the American to the French Revolution-absolutely brilliant. Shapiro is one of the best minds we‘ve come across in this modern age and a powerful weapon. Absolutely recommend!

Amazing Book that I will read again

Fascinating viewpoint on explaining the philosophies from Athens and Jerusalem that were the basis of the Constitution and Declaration of Independence. Also gives historical examples of societies that have rejected those ideals and how those societies have failed! Definitely recommend!

I loved the book.

There’s a lot people hating on the book without reading it. Yes, the book is bias Shapiro makes that very clear. However, I think he tries to be fair about it. Great read easy to read and follow. If you’re a open minded liberal that would like to see the argument on the right give it a try I think it will help you understand conservatives more.

The books founding thesis is only half right, that being that the logic of Ancient Greece and the faith of Judeo-Christian values worked hand in hand to basically make the west as good as it is. Ancient Greece surely had a positive influence on western civilization, they were the fathers of democracy after all, but Judeo-Christian values are almost completely incompatible with both modern western civilization and even the values of Ancient Greece. One need simply take a cursory glance at history (or even the Bible) to know this is true. This book is simply propaganda to make the religious-right feel good.
