book
Dietrich von Hildebrand provides a uniquely in-depth and
astute analysis of the many ways we substitute false idols (the
“graven images”) for true Christian morality. This is not a
simple book on the differences between good and evil most
people do not replace true morality with pure evil, but with
some other “extramoral” good, like “respectability” or “honor.”
Hildebrand guides us through these false alternatives, helping
to show both what is good in them, but also where they fall
short of the uniqueness of true Christian morality. em em
