The “Culture of Death” has become a popular phrase, and is much
bandied about in academic circles. Yet, for most people, its meaning remains
vague and remote. DeMarco and Wiker have given the Culture of Death high
definition and frightening immediacy. They have exposed its roots by introducing
its “architects.” In a scholarly, yet reader-friendly delineation
of the mindsets of twenty-three influential thinkers, such as Ayn Rand,
Charles Darwin, Karl Marx, Jean-Paul Sartre, Alfred Kinsey, Margaret Sanger,
Jack Kevorkian, and Peter Singer, they make clear the aberrant thought and
malevolent intentions that have shaped the Culture of Death.
Still, 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, hope for the “Culture
of Life” rests 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 Architects,
serving as a hopeful antidote.
“An action-packed, riveting and educational exposé
that reveals little-known facts that are shocking and incredible. You
will not want to put this book down...”

Through Shakespeare's Eyes: Seeing the Catholic Presence in the Plays
by Joseph Pearce
Fulfilling the promise he made in his previous book, The Quest for Shakespeare,
bestselling literary writer Joseph Pearce analyzes in this volume three of Shakespeare's immortal
plays--The Merchant of Venice, Hamlet and King Lear--in order to uncover the Bard's Catholic beliefs. In The Quest for Shakespeare, which has been made
into an EWTN television series, Pearce delved into the known biographical evidence for Shakespeare's Catholicism. Here the popular and provocative author digs into
the plays, which were written and first performed during the English crown's persecution of Catholics. English history and literature were taught for generations through
the prism of English Protestantism. Of late both of these fields have been dominated in universities and academic presses by modern scholars with filters and
interpretations of their own. Though the evidence for Shakespeare's Catholicism has been studied before now, thanks, in part, to the unique contribution of
Joseph Pearce, the Bard's genius is being analyzed in the open air of the public arena, the very place where Shakespeare intended his dramas to entertain and edify.
