Saving Leonardo

Picture
Is secularism a positive force in the modern world?

Or does it lead to fragmentation and disintegration?

In Saving Leonardo, best-selling award-winning author Nancy Pearcey (Total Truth, coauthor How Now Shall We Live?) makes a compelling case that secularism is destructive and dehumanizing.

Pearcey depicts the revolutionary thinkers and artists, the ideas and events, leading step by step to the unleashing of secular worldviews that undermine human dignity and liberty. She crafts a fresh approach that exposes the real-world impact of ideas in philosophy, science, art, literature, and film—voices that surround us in the classroom, in the movie theater, and in our living rooms.

A former agnostic, Pearcey offers a persuasive case for historic Christianity as a holistic and humane alternative.

​She equips readers to counter the life-denying worldviews that are radically restructuring society and pervading our daily lives. Whether you are a devoted Christian, determined secularist, or don’t know quite where you stand, reading Saving Leonardo will unsettle established views and topple ideological idols.

​Includes more than 100 art reproductions and illustrations that bring the book’s themes to life.

“Nancy Pearcey’s books have been an enormous help to me as I’ve tried to figure out what it means to be a Christian writer in a culture that sometimes appears to have gone insane. In Saving Leonardo, she traces out the various secular worldviews that are sucking the blood out of Western Civilization, and reveals the one characteristic they all have in common: their demonstrable inferiority to a Christian worldview that unites heaven and earth, knowledge and faith. That is such good news, we should share it with the people who are educating our children.”
— John R. Erickson, author, Hank the Cowdog

“A feast for the mind and for the eye. Nancy Pearcey not only is a trustworthy guide for a nuanced discussion on the relationship between culture and the gospel, but she is a gifted teacher as well … Saving Leonardo is a rare, precious gift to the churches and universities alike.”
— Makoto Fujimura, artist and author of Refractions: A Journey of Faith, Art, and Culture

“Nancy Pearcey has done it again and better than ever. She has taken the complex sophistication of the best cultural analysis and laid it out for any person to grasp, enjoy and use to live out their daily lives honoring Christ. An astounding accomplishment!”
​— James W. Sire, author of The Universe Next Door

Picture
“Brilliant … The book brings complex, abstract ideas down-to-earth—or rather, down-to-life. … Saving Leonardo bridges the gaps between the arts and the sciences, the theoretical and the practical. The book not only argues for the unity of Christian truth but exemplifies that unity and shows it in action.”
— Gene Edward Veith, provost, Patrick Henry College
