Carrying the Torch

This publication exists to restore Truth, Beauty, Goodness, and God to the heart of Western life — through the wisdom of the Great Books.

The Great Books are the fire of civilization:

A fire that refines your soul to live with courage, wisdom, and virtue.

Here you’ll find reflections on literature, philosophy, theology, and the Western canon — written to instill that fire in your soul — so that you can live in the true spirit of the tradition that built the West.

Reminder: I rely on the support of our readers to keep going
