This is the reading of my recent piece appearing in American Reformer. It was a long article and many of you prefer to listen rather than read the lengthier ones.
I have a new post dedicated to your essay/talk, which is top-notch and (unfortunately) quite necessary. A good half of the post quotes Strauss-influenced Biblical thinkers you would likely be interested in, such as Leon Kass, and especially, Pierre Manent. Manent is likely the greatest political philosopher of our time period--he's not just a very good political philosopher of our time that we Christians should want to celebrate as one of our own. https://pomocon.substack.com/p/kruptos-on-kingsnorths-anti-civilizational/comments
An even simpler argument for some form of civilization being essential for Christianity: hunter-gatherers cannot make bread and wine.
