Conservatism: A Rediscovery

By Yoram Hazony

 

A Review by Dwight A. Moody

 

As a Christian preacher and theologian, I have spent my life seeking to conserve and interpret one of the great cultural and religious traditions of the world. In that sense, I count myself very much a conservative. But as an American citizen shaped by the struggle for racial, sexual, and gender freedom that has consumed our nation for 75 years, I count myself very much a liberal. Which is why I am fascinated by the Christian Nationalism that has risen to influence in recent years. I determined to read what they write, and so I read (and reviewed) The Case for Christian Nationalism, and now I have read and am reviewing Conservatism: A Rediscovery.
