"A friend of mine for decades, Professor George is a man of thought, of faith, and of action. In this book, he teaches us that the highest objects of learning are also the firmest basis of action. We all need to understand that both to know and to act. He is one of the best to help us."—Larry P. Arnn, president of Hillsdale College"Taking aim at the superficial dichotomy between faith and reason, these essays brilliantly reveal in a variety of contexts how faith can purify reason and reason can fortify faith."—Mary Ann Glendon, Learned Hand Professor of Law, Emerita, Harvard University and Former U.S. Ambassador to the Holy See"Robert George is perhaps the greatest living philosopher in the United States. His work is indispensable, his wisdom incontestable."—Ben Shapiro, co-founder of The Daily Wire "With characteristic perspicacity and grace, Professor George clarifies the most pressing debates of our age.
