A call to obedience
By J. C. Woods
I was perusing the bargain table in a bookstore when this title leapt out at me. I boughtit (for the price what had I to lose?) and 24 hours later I had finished. Stunned, I think is the word. It is hard to believe, for one thing, that this is an actually a collection of essays. Such collections tend to be like your grandma's attic: a little bit of this, a little bit of that; connected only by the owners' (author's) singularity. This book, though the chapters are all on different subjects, describes a single argument, and each of the chapters -- er-- essays, increase the self-disclosure.
The author does admit to some deception (p. 174) in the table of contents, a subterfuge to cover where she is going, but it seems necessary. The book's aim is to subvert a world view, that of her readers. To do so requires an ambush. She has to get you with her, moving in her direction before you notice how far she had lead you away from the beaten track. The first essay is the most conventional and reads a bit like Allan Bloom's "Closing of the American Mind" (whose conclusion she probably resonates with, while doubting he goes far enough; and whose methods she probably thinks are complete and utter poppycock). The last are very personal and subjective.
She asks (and answers) disquieting questions. Why do we constantly go to prepackaged idea about our history when the original documents are readily available? Why is it that what passes for scholarship gives us opinions instead of knowledge? When we are drowning in information, why is public discourse so impoverished?
For the answers to these questions, she goes back to the 19th century and beyond. How did we get into this fix? What were things like before? Is our plight necessary? She avoids conspiracies theories at the price of making her readers responsiblie for what they know. Without obedience, there is no faith. If you're just looking for information, you won't find it here. If you want, instead to be a person who is reponsible for what they know, this book is for you.

Marilynne Robinson Worth Reading Anytime
By John T. Mulqueen
This book of essays is a wonderful testimony of a person who is not afraid to go against the commonly held beliefs of much of the non-religious world. Who knew Calvin was so intersting, or that New Englander Calvinists and the McCuffie (sp?) readers were so admirable, or that the Darwinists so untrustworthy? You don't have to believe her, but she will make you read more about all these and other topics.

Modern Jeremiad
By Thomas A Wiebe
This book could just as well have been entitled "Modern Jeremiad", as its tone is often bleak, accusatory, and angry, sure that the world, and America in particular, has taken a set of massively wrong turns in terms of both its thinking and its behavior. This is a book that marks modern thought as empty of spiritual meaning, and continually contrasts secular (mostly failed) ideas and behaviors with Christianity's spirituality and ability to provide meaning and moral structure in a modern human's life. The essays are wildly uneven, and the variation in quality is quite wide; most are readable, but several are nigh on unreadable. If you were to read this book from back to front, you would, roughly speaking, be reading from the best essays to the worst.

The first essay, entitled Darwinism, is the biggest disappointment, particularly as it was the reason I bought the book. Here, unfortunately, the author is murky, imprecise, ill-informed and sometimes plainly misleading. She appears to be not very well acquainted with the subject, at least from the modern scientific point of view. It would appear that this essay's main theme is that materialism in ideas (science) and practice (acquisitiveness) is no substitute for moral and spiritual values; this is a strong idea, and has been argued in many ways by many people. This essay starts unraveling when the author chooses to use the term Darwinism in several different contexts without carefully distinguishing between them. Since the sub-title of the book is "Essays on Modern Thought", there is a strong implication that this subject would address evolutionary biology. However, Darwinism is used here to mean at least four different things: Modern evolutionary biological science, the historical progression of social and political ideas that followed from Darwin's writings, Social Darwinism in and of itself, and the pseudo-scientific ramblings of various people, to include some, but not all, of Dawkins' writings (some of Dawkins' work is legitimate evolutionary biological science, and some of it is atheistic crankiness). Each of these have some quite distinct elements, and by conflating them together the author displays some fairly flaccid thinking, much of it from old and long since discredited ideas, or ideas that are on the bleeding edge of scientific thinking, but which are treated by the author, as, well . . . scientific gospel. Certainly the essay struggles to be modern in the sense of being current, or having applied lessons learned.

The most modern and enduring thoughts that emanated from Darwin are expressed in evolutionary biological thinking, which attempts to describe a mechanism for the observed changes that occur in a biological organism's physical and genetic structure. The idea for natural selection came from the observations that: natural organisms vary in their physical traits, and seemingly small differences can keep one species from interbreeding with another; most species produce many, many more offspring than can possibly survive in their resource constrained environment, and so only those most fit for survival live long enough to reproduce and pass on their particular traits; the traits that confer higher fitness to surviving organisms can change over time, in part due to changing environmental pressures, providing a very slow mechanism for genetic and physical change of organisms. Robinson repeatedly turns the idea of natural selection on its head, talking about it as some agent that replaces God and is "killing off those who die", rather than as a description of the normal state of nature (in every generation most species normally produce more offspring than can survive, which is what Darwin was addressing). Nature works that way whether you believe its origins were from God's creation or you are trying to explain it as a working scientific theory.

There were many influences on Darwin that produced these seminal thoughts, among them the ideas of Thomas Malthus, who, during the growing pains of the Industrial Revolution, worried that the food supply would be outstripped by the exponentially expanding human population. This idea provided Darwin with another spur towards a natural selection mechanism for the evolution of life on earth: Competition for scarce resources amongst living organisms would promote traits that enhanced the ability of those organisms to successfully garner sufficient resources to survive. The author criticizes Malthus for the brutishness of his ideas, mocks him for the failure of his predictions to come true, and then makes a broad attempt to connect the whole of Malthus to Darwin's evolutionary model. What is missing here is first that Malthus' ideas were not inherently wrong nor brutish; it was and still is entirely possible for the human population to increase beyond their capacity to feed the entire population. What Malthus did not anticipate was the up-to-now remarkable technological approach to agronomy which engendered tremendous increases in the food supply sufficient to keep up with the still exponentially growing human population. Darwin, in any case, was not a full proponent of all of Malthus's ideas, rather a beneficiary of the astute observation regarding the limited availability of resources to support life on Earth, and the basic consequences of those limits. Just because some aspect of Malthus has influenced and is linked to modern evolutionary biology doesn't mean that all of Malthus' observations or conclusions apply to it, nor does it mean that every idea Darwin had has survived intact, either, although the author is not careful to make that important distinction.

Therein is one of the major problems of the Darwinism essay, and in the approach of other essays in this book: In the Introduction, the author describes a program for her essays, part of which is to read original works, and extract from them the truth of the author's ideas, rather than relying on later interpretations, and possible misinterpretations. This idea is as old as a freshman lecture in historiography, but even this powerful idea can be misapplied, as it often has been here. Taking ideas espoused 150 years ago, and treating them as if they represent the current thinking on the subject they initiated is rarely fruitful, and in this case, terminal. Ideas, not just organisms, evolve, and some portions or threads of useful ideas are discarded because they are wrong, or better ideas replace them, etc. The author sometimes seems to understand this rather obvious point, but in many instances, clearly does not. For example, as the author points out, Darwin indirectly influenced the Social Darwinism movement via his The Descent of Man, among other writings, and helped (unwittingly) to produce a framework for much mayhem. (Darwin himself was decidedly not a Social Darwinist.) The author uses this historical link to damn all Darwinism (via her conflation of Social Darwinism with modern evolutionary biology), in particular by her insistence that there is a clear intellectual chain from Malthus, Darwin, Social Darwinism, Nietzsche and Freud directly to the Nazi's racial theories, which of course, culminated in the Holocaust. Certainly there are real links there, but doesn't this conclusion seem awfully glib? The Holocaust had many influences, ignored here by the author, who goes further to say that while religion has been used for evil means, it has not been as evil as science, here specifically in the form of Social Darwinism (a very odd point in and of itself: Social Darwinism is not science, both science and religion have been used for good and for evil, etc.). Nothing I have read on the subject of the Holocaust pretends to know exactly all and how profound the influences were that produced this horrific behavior; all writers agree that evil is generally at root unknowable, but all allude to many influences. Ironically, given the author's constant comparison of Darwinism and Christianity, it has been argued in many instances that Christianity is the main intellectual and cultural cause of the Holocaust, evidenced by its long history of anti-Semitism, which included many past incidents of mass murder, albeit not on an industrial scale until the Holocaust. Martin Luther, for example, is called out by, among others, Lucy Davidowitz in her The War Against the Jews: 1933-1945, as having been a prime historical influence on the Nazi's racial hatred and thereby on the Holocaust. Luther's On The Jews and Their Lies described the Jews as "the Devil's people", advocated destroying their property, expelling them from Germany, and said that "We are at fault in not slaying them". These words of Luther were regularly referenced in the violent Nazi party propaganda inciting the German populace against Jews. Be that as it may, the argument for the Holocaust's prime cause is weak for either Luther or Social Darwinism: Nazi evil lies in their deeds, their willingness to put imperial power and megalomaniacal ambitions above any love for their fellow human beings. Like many other power mad human beings, they seized upon the most convenient pretexts to further their ambitions. Unfortunately, here the author puts the cart before the horse, and does this is several other essays (substitute Darwin's Social Darwinism for Stalinism, Leninism, Mao, Castro, etc.)

The author also seems to at times understand the limits of science, but many other times asks of science something it isn't designed to do. As Chet Raymo said in Skeptics and True Believers, "Science is an effective, rational instrument for discerning (tentatively, partially, but progressively more accurately) the facts of the world." The keys here are tentativeness and rationality, both significant limits; science is not absolute truth, nor does it aspire to be. The author, in this and other essays, sometimes sees and acknowledges this clearly, but in this essay in particular, repeatedly misses this point, and calls science to task for being empty of meaning (in the spiritual or moral sense), or having supplanted religion - a moot point. Evolutionary biology makes no such claim, although a writer like Dawkins often does, and when he does, he is no longer representing science. The author has recognized this distinction in some of her other writings, but here she again conflates science with scientists who stray from science to make points about religion, or working scientists who make conclusions about religion under the guise of "science."

She also has occasion to make silly statements about science, as for example, "Cats and dogs are quite closely related, but a lifetime of studying dogs would not qualify anyone to speak with authority on the ways of cats. So with the whole earthly bestiary which has been recruited to the purposes of the proper study of mankind." This is at best, an overly broad point about the real differences between species, but comes across as deliberately ignorant. Those traits that are similar or the same between a cat and a dog allow science to study the traits in one organism and apply them to the other, not to mention are clearly useful in refining our understanding of what is not the same, and therefore providing distinguishing characteristics between the two species that makes them uniquely a cat or dog. The obvious extension to humans is that we have successfully used these similarities to study human diseases and work out cures for them using other animals, among many other things. Does the author really not understand this, or was she just, again, sloppy?

A more troubling example of the author's odd statements regarding science is: "Darwinism is harsh and crude in its practical consequences, in a degree that sets it apart from all other respectable scientific hypotheses." It is hard to know where to begin with this statement, but I will limit it to two questions: 1. What does the judgment "harsh and crude" have to do with evolutionary biology? This a an emotionally loaded, subjective observation that is not usefully applied to hypotheses or theories, and one the author makes no attempt to justify. 2. How is it that scientific hypotheses are "respectable" or not? They are either testable, and add to a useful probabilistic model of the phenomenon being studied, or they are not. They can be well-established, meaning they are reliably predictive for the use they are put to, or they can be early and quite tentative and promising but not used by anyone, and can be discarded if the hypotheses was disproven or proved to have no predictive value or was superseded by an idea that worked better, etc. etc. etc.

There is much more that disappoints in this essay, and it seems no more than a nearly unreadable muddle - it clearly needed an editor.

Regarding the long Introduction, it does have some interesting ideas in it, for example, "Literacy became virtually universal in Western civilization when and where it began to seem essential for people to be able to read the Bible," which has stimulated me to look at this further. It, however, suffers from the same kinds of problems that the Darwinism essay does. In addition, there is another problem in the Introduction, on which can be found throughout the essays. The author calls historians to task for being too cynical, pouncing on every flaw or problem by way of writing off a subject being analyzed. There is a tendency in historical writing to do this, and it is sometimes serves to obscure important facts and interpretations, but . . . some of it is quite legitimate in bringing a seriously different understanding, rather than being just cheap criticism, and, oddly enough, the author herself does a good deal of this throughout the essays, some of which is new understanding, and some of which is nothing more than cheap shots towards something she objects to (as seen in the Darwinism essay).

A perfect example of this is found in the Introduction where the author chides historians for overemphasizing the hypocrisy of Thomas Jefferson for being a slave owner while espousing freedom for all men. She points out that Jefferson, in his original draft of the Declaration of Independence, included a passage that attacked slavery as a terrible crime, which was removed by others, and that Jefferson, in his Notes on the State of Virginia, attacks slavery vehemently; yet even with this, historians still insist on beating up poor Jefferson for his hypocrisy, without acknowledging his accomplishments. Following the formula of her book in the first two points, we can examine the first draft of the Declaration (see American Scripture: Making the Declaration of Independence) and find that he speaks of the abomination of slavery that had been foisted upon us by King George! That is, Jefferson described the slave trade as just another in the long list of crimes that George III had committed against the Colonies that justified the revolution, and in no way does he or the nascent American states take responsibility for their own complicity, brutality and profit in buying, owning and selling slaves. In the Notes we find a few other things: 1. He never intended on publishing this work in America, but was forced to because the draft he sent to France was published there against his will. It is clear from the remainder of his behavior throughout his life, that he nearly always acted to preserve slavery and other Southern institutions regardless of what he said about slavery (see "Negro President": Jefferson and the Slave Power by Garry Wills; American Sphinx: The Character of Thomas Jefferson by Joseph Ellis; Thomas Jefferson, by R. B. Bernstein; and especially Master of the Mountain: Thomas Jefferson and His Slaves, by Henry Wiencek, and Slavery and the Founders: Race and Liberty in the Age of Jefferson by Paul Finkelman). 2. Although he called for the abolition of slavery, his moral repugnance centered on the effect slavery had on the morality of the masters, not on the tyranny and brutality imposed on the slaves; in any event, he suggested that it had to be done well in the future. The older Jefferson got, the more distant that time became. 3. He described blacks as inferior to whites, because they smelled bad, were ugly, and were less intelligent, and proposed that if the slaves were to be freed, they would have to be expelled from the United States, as they were not capable of being participating citizens, and leaving them in the U. S. would be dangerous, as they would seek to destroy their former masters. 4. One of the prime reasons for the founding of the Republican party in 1792 (which morphed into the Democratic-Republican party in 1824 and into the Democratic party in 1858) by Jefferson was to maintain states rights and the agrarian quality of the South (translate - protect slavery, which the Democratic party did with great fierceness). 5. Jefferson supported the 3/5 clause and the Fugitive Slave clause in the U. S. Constitution (from abroad), which is the single most powerful reason why the South held more power in the Federal government, in all three branches, all the way up to 1860. Jefferson would have lost the election of 1800 to Adams without the additional electoral college votes generated by counting slaves without representation. 6. Jefferson lived a life of luxury and privilege which was unsustainable without his ownership of a large slave population. Jefferson bred and sold hundreds of slaves after the Declaration of Independence in 1776 to support his spendthrift ways, and at his death 50 years later, he had by then freed only a handful, and still had 135. Washington, on the other hand, freed all of his slaves at his death.

I would invite the author to visit Jefferson's Monticello, as I once did, and really inspect his home and grounds. Monticello was diabolically designed to keep slaves out of sight (this has been noted by other observers), either under the house, which is a warren of narrow, dark rooms and passages with dumbwaiters to support the home above, and the slave quarters are out of view; only the whitest of slaves served in the house, among them Sally Hemings, and some of his and Sally's children. Whatever his relationship with Sally, there was a strong element of coercion in it, and whatever else Jefferson accomplished, he was in a no way a friend of slaves, or any real kind of abolitionist. Robinson's opprobrium to the contrary, this is not an annoying and cynical point, but goes to the heart of Jefferson's attitudes and accomplishments, or lack thereof, regarding slavery, and his supposed support for the freedom of all men.

I found the best essays to be The Tyranny of Petty Coercion and Wilderness, which are tight and cogent pleas from the heart for the courage to act in the best interests of community, nation and humankind, against the cynicism of virulently partisan discourse and environmental exploitation, respectively. These are brave explications of thoughts routinely squelched in today's America via the worst kind of peer pressure. The author provides a spot on description of the failure of the political will of liberalism or progressivism as an antidote to the conservative shift of power and money to benefit a rapacious and selfish elite (not, as other critics would have it, the failure of liberalism itself- the author supports the instincts of liberalism to help the disadvantaged, for example).

Her essays on Psalm 8 and Dietrich Bonhoeffer are also of high quality, and a welcome departure from the stiff and angry tone that permeates a good part of the book. Psalm 8 is a frank autobiographical account of the author's personal spiritual journey. The Dietrich Bonhoeffer essay is a capable exploration of one of the best examples of personal dedication to and sacrifice for one's principles, rare in any time and place, and particularly compelling in the person of Bonhoeffer. Luther, for all his fame as a man of courage ("Hier stehe ich, ich kann nicht anders"), did not have the strength of resolve of Bonhoeffer; even while he was standing up to the Pope, in the face of being burned at the stake, he was actually already under the protection of German princes who had every political reason to use Luther as a way of removing the heavy economic hand of the Roman Catholic Church, and Luther knew this. When the peasants rose up against their feudal lords a few years later, stimulated in some part by Luther's call to independent interpretation of the Bible, and thereby some independence from authority, Luther's response was to tell the princes they had every right to destroy recalcitrant peasants (an inflammatory overreaction that only fanned the flames of the resulting violence; it is hard to avoid the thought that Luther's vitriol was self-protective and craven). Bonhoeffer had access to similar protections at several junctures in his ethical and bravely public battle with the Nazis (e.g. he was given permission to go, and went to NYC in 1939, and returned after a month to a situation that was clearly life-threatening), but chose to face the threats rather than retreat, and it shortened his life, as he was ultimately imprisoned, then murdered by the Nazis.

There are several on John Calvin, to include the two on Margaret of Navarre and Puritans and Prigs, which I won't comment much on here, but which I generally found interesting, as I knew little more than the basics regarding Calvin. However, I didn't buy her extended supposition, that because some of Calvin's works show him to be more benign than he is often described, some of the basic historical facts around Calvinism are quite wrong, such as the rigidity of the ascetic, controlled life and the theocratic style of Puritan communities. She is right to say these accounts can be exaggerated, and they often miss the richness and happiness of some of the lives of people in these communities, but she herself exaggerates in minimizing the real effects of this and other theocracies on those who do not strictly worship and follow the government-dictated religious rules. Thomas Jefferson's best contribution to America was his insistence on freedom of religion, a point of view he developed in part as a reaction to New England's theocratic history, and his agreement with Roger William's own insistence on freedom of religion, which insistence was precipitated by direct theocratic interference with William's ability to worship freely in Puritan Massachusetts, and his subsequent migration to and formation of Rhode Island.

If you are interested in her views on Darwinism, this book is not recommended, but if you are interested in some heartfelt discussions of the quality of modern life, and a more friendly view of our Puritan heritage, this book is recommended.
