Editorial Review

Book Description

For Vigen Guroian, contemporary culture is distinguished by its relentless assault on the moral imagination. In the stories it tells us, in the way it has degraded courtship and sexualized our institutions of higher education, in the ever-more-radical doctrines of human rights it propounds, and in the way it threatens to remake human nature via biotechnology, contemporary culture conspires to deprive men and women of the kind of imagination that Edmund Burke claimed allowed us to raise our perception of our own human dignity, or to "cover the defects of our own naked shivering nature." In Rallying the Really Human Things, Guroian combines a theologian's keen sensitivity to the things of the spirit with his immersion in the works of Burke, Russell Kirk, G. K. Chesterton, Flannery O'Connor, St. John Chrysostom, and other exemplars of the religious humanist tradition to diagnose our cultural crisis. But he also points the way towards a culture more solicitous of the "really human things," the Chesterton phrase from which he takes his title. Guroian's wide-ranging analysis of these times provides a fresh and inimitable perspective on the practices and mores of contemporary life.

5-0 out of 5 stars Here are some of the inexplicably missing capsule reviews -
"Vigen Gurorian's courageous and discerning vision illuminates both current issues of burning importance (campus promiscuity, nationalism, and gay marriage, for example), and major Christian thinkers of the recent past (Chesterton, O'Connor, and Kirk). This compendium is a resource that will help us all see more clearly."
-- Frederica Mathewes-Green, columnist for Beliefnet.com and author of The Illumined Heart: The Ancient Christian Path of Transformation

"Guroian is a rare and precious bird these days: a scholar of the Real. Here he focuses his moral passion and theologian's mind on some of today's most smoldering issues."
-- Kevin Ryan, Professor Emeritus, Boston University

"These eloquent and wide-ranging essays in the moral imagination establish Vigen Guroian as our own Chesterton. For with fine Chestertonian wit, he demonstrates that the modern West is not heinously wicked so much as it is wildly virtuous, as the old Christian virtues, uprooted from their native theological soil, continue to produce mad sprouts. Responding astringently to the cultural and religious vexations of our age, Guroian restores these saving virtues to the deep loam of Christian tradition."
-- Ralph Wood, University Professor of Theology and Literature, Baylor University

"Rallying the Really Human Things does not so much inform as remind. Vigen Guroian has busied himself with one of the most pressing tasks in our intellectual life, which is to rescue the dignified word "humanism" from the damage wrought upon it by both the secularly self-sufficient and the piously ignorant."
-- Tracy Lee Simmons, author of Climbing Parnassus: A New Apologia for Greek and Latin

"Professor Guroian's book is both a powerful and provocative defense of traditional Christian humanism in its conflict with secularism."
-- Bob Cheeks, intellectualconservative.com

"Of course, this review hasn't even mentioned excellent essays on 'gay marriage' and why businessmen 'should read great literture.' There are myriad positions in his pages I would like to sound with trumpets on one hand and anathematize on the other. Like Chesterton, Guroian can write infuriating passages, but never dull ones."
-- David Paul Deavel, Gilbert Magazine ... Read more

1-0 out of 5 stars A Significant Disappointment
Over the years I have read a great deal about the mid-century "red scare" and in the process have occasionally encountered the name Eric Bentley, author of various works on the subject.Among these works is the play ARE YOU NOW OR HAVE YOU EVER BEEN, described as an account of the 1947 and 1951 probe for "communist influences" in the motion picture industry.

It is indeed a fascinating story, a tale of an all-powerful Washington committee quite casually ignoring the First Amendment in a flagrant display of racism and headline-hunger.And the names of those called to give testimony before The House Un-American Activities Committee reads like a roll call of the finest actors, writers, and directors of 1940s and 1950s Hollywood.The dialogue is drawn from the testimony as noted in Congressional records.It has all the makings of a great drama.

Unfortunately, it is a dud.Oh yes, the testimony is interesting, often quite powerful.Trouble is, Bentley has no gift for construction.A few people--and indeed seldom the most interesting ones; Robeson is certainly memorable but Bentley has no time for the likes of Ayn Rand or Walt Disney--tell their various tales before a committee while a narrator makes an ineffective effort to keep us advised of who, what, and when and what happened when the dust finally settled.The play does not so much begin as simply start; it does not so much end as simply stop.I was quite surprised that any one could take this material, impressive as it is even its rawest state, and arrive at this truly odd construction.

But at least ARE YOU NOW OR HAVE YOU EVER BEEN has the benefit of some really impressive dialogue, words literally lifted from life.This cannot be said of the other two plays included in the volume: THE RECANTATION OF GALILEO GALILEI and FROM THE MEMOIRS OF PONTIUS PILATE.In both instances the dialogue reads very much like something a high school writer might have created for an English project: a mixture of forced and throw way.In the instance of GALILEO I might also note that Brecht got there earlier and to considerably greater effect.

Now, plays are not really intended to be read; they are intended to be seen on stage, and sometimes a play that reads badly can explode into an unexpected life when it is costumed, appropriately lit, acted, and directed.But I've had a fair amount of experience with drama, and quite frankly I don't think this is the case here.In my opinion, these are just three really lousy plays.If you are interested in the HUAC and McCarthy era, you would really do better to read something that at least offered a little context.As for the other two plays, the less said the better.
