{"product_id":"architects-of-the-culture-of-death-9781586170165","title":"Architects of the Culture of Death","description":"The phrase, the Culture of Death, is bandied about as a catch-all term that covers abortion, euthanasia and other attacks on the sanctity of life. In \u003ci\u003eArchitects of the Culture of Death\u003c\/i\u003e, authors Donald DeMarco and Benjamin Wiker expose the Culture of Death as an intentional and malevolent ideology promoted by influential thinkers who specifically attack Christian morality's core belief in the sanctity of human life and the existence of man's immortal soul. In scholarly, yet reader-friendly prose, DeMarco and Wiker examine the roots of the Culture of Death by introducing 23 of its architects, including Ayn Rand, Charles Darwin, Karl Marx, Jean-Paul Sartre, Alfred Kinsey, Margaret Sanger, Jack Kevorkian, and Peter Singer.\u003cp\u003eStill, this is not a book without hope. If the Culture of Death rests on a fragmented view of the person and an eclipse of God, the future of the Culture of Life relies on an understanding and restoration of the human being as a person, and the rediscovery of a benevolent God. The personalism of John Paul II is an illuminating thread that runs through \u003ci\u003eArchitects\u003c\/i\u003e, serving as a hopeful antidote. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBenjamin Wiker\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eMoral Darwinism.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDonald De Marco\u003c\/b\u003e, an Associate Professor of Philosophy at St. Jerome's College, Ontario, has written hundreds of magazine articles, and is the author of eleven books.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Ignatius Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50544773071122,"sku":"9781586170165","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_2716340d-6b54-4629-9ca1-0c9b0127259b.jpg?v=1731535779","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/architects-of-the-culture-of-death-9781586170165","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
