** EPPC Scholars on the "Message from Jerusalem"
------------------------------------------------------------
In this month's featured essay from Mosaic, EPPC Adjunct Fellow (and member of EPPC's board of directors) Eric Cohen argues ([link removed]) for the centrality of the “Hebraic vision” in rescuing and defending Judeo-Christian civilization today.
“For Western civilization to flourish, Judeo-Christian moral disarmament, or moral surrender, must come to an end,” Mr. Cohen argues. “Traditional Jews and Christians must forcefully reassert that the Hebraic way of life—with its vision of sanctified normalcy, governed by the Hebrew Bible’s moral code, and courageously defended—is good and true. They—we—should never be embarrassed by traditional Judaism or Christianity, and should never give up on our sacred moral heritage.”
In a response ([link removed]) to the essay, also published by Mosaic, EPPC Distinguished Senior Fellow George Weigel affirms Mr. Cohen's essay as an “exercise in courage, for he is challenging both his fellow Jews and his Christian friends to engage in a long, difficult, countercultural campaign of cultural resistance for the sake of cultural renewal, and that is going to be costly.”
And in a companion response, Dr. Wilfred M. McClay, a member of EPPC's board of directors, also takes up the themes of Mr. Cohen's essay, suggesting ([link removed]) that “the balance between Athens and Jerusalem...has been altered, very much to the disadvantage of the latter, and is in danger of being destroyed altogether.”
