What They're Saying...
"In prose of high seriousness, Kirk portrays an American culture in deep
trouble. Nonetheless…he is guardedly hopeful, too."
— The Grand Rapids Press
"All of these sound essays are thoughtful, well-crafted and soundly-based,
superbly presented with historical and literary references and the educated wit
and wisdom of a man who clearly stands out as an icon of conservative
thought."
— Small Press Magazine
"[A]n impassioned call to reinvigorate the realms of humane learning and the
larger social order."
— Humanitas
"All in all Redeeming the Time is a superb work: its keen illumination of
today's travails by the light of orthodox Christianity powerfully demonstrates
the timeliness of the timeless."
— The Social Critic
"Written in prose characteristically lively and graceful, these essays delve into the nature of culture; the precarious balance of order justice, and freedom; the true purpose of education; the dangers of ideology; the importance of beauty and the central role of imagination to life's fullness."
— Virginian Pilot
"I like to read a little Russell Kirk every day, the way Victorians liked to 'spend an hour with the classics' to get me going and nowadays, to keep me going. Redeeming the Time is a treasure trove of rigorous thought and stylistic elegance that will serve me well as a conservative reader."
— Florence King, author, The Florence King Reader
"Redeeming the Time gathers together the last words of one of America's wisest thinkers. A precious and poignant book."
— David Frum, author, Dead Right
"[T]he single most powerful case for a cultural and political conservatism.... It should be on every
conservative's shelf."
— Washington Times
