** 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.
In a response to the essay, also published by Mosaic, EPPC Distinguished Senior Fellow George Weigel affirms ([link removed]) 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.”
