In this probing work, Brown grapples with the reasons so many moderns worship the sensuous, the material, the colossal--but still feel empty and shallow. He finds the roots of cultural disintegration in the abandonment of the spiritual dimension.

Originally written for the nation's bicentennial, this updated version focuses on the political traditions of this nation and how it has strayed from the original intentions of the founding fathers. The goal is to help readers understand the problems, threats, challenges, and opportunities before us in reconstructing the republican form of government outlined in the Constitution. It examines the role of government, government and Christianity, ethics, and the responsibilities of citizens.

The reconstruction of the Republic

Arlington House/Publishers

Why have so many lost confidence and hope in spite of the progress of modern times? Why do even those who deny their despair run ever faster in pursuit of pleasures that burn all thought from their minds? Distinguished Christian thinker Harold O. J. Brown argues in this incisive analysis that our culture suffers such symptoms because we have cut ourselves off from our spiritual roots. We are in the last stages of what the late Russian scholar Pitirim Sorokin called a late, degenerate, sensate culture. Furthermore, this crisis of culture is too opaque to be penetrated by human understanding and efforts alone. Instead we must begin by confessing our need for grace and wisdom from above. Brown shows how, with that confession, Christians may be able to point the way out of cultural despair. They above all people know the power of faith, hope, and love. Hence the author can conclude that, There are some indications that disillusionment with the fading favors of a rotting sensate culture is causing people to become receptive to solutions that are identifiably Christian.

Heresies: Heresy and Orthodoxy in the History of the Church

The history of Christian theology is in large part a history of heresies, because Jesus and the claims he made . . . seemed incredible," writes the author.Heresies presents "the story of how succeeding generations of Christians through almost twenty centuries have tried to understand, trust, and obey Jesus Christ." Particularly concerned with christology and trinitarianism, the author calls on the four major creeds of the church—Apostles', Nicene, Athanasian, and Chalcedonian—to separate orthodoxy from heresy. He acknowledges that heresy has done much more than confuse and divide the church. It has also helped the church to classify orthodoxy. Just as heresy served this purpose historically, so it serves this purpose pedagogically in Heresies. 
 This volume presents a clarion call to evangelicals to preserve tenaciously "the faith once delivered to the saints." Frank E. James III wrote in theJournal of the Evangelical Theological Society: "Brown deserves to be commended not only for his insightful scholarship and his readable style but also and more importantly for providing a sorely-needed jab to the soft underbelly of modern evangelicalism."
