Strong Gods

Lesilie Newbegin
Book •
In "Return of the Strong Gods," R.R.

Reno argues that Western societies have abandoned the transcendent ideals and strong cultural narratives that once provided meaning and cohesion.

Reno critiques the modern emphasis on individualism, safety, and technological progress, asserting that these values have created a spiritual void, leading to social fragmentation and cultural decay.

He advocates for the restoration of robust religious and national identities to counteract the corrosive effects of secularism and nihilism.

The book emphasizes the need for shared values and a sense of collective purpose to revitalize Western civilization.

It challenges readers to reconsider the foundations of modern society and to embrace the strong gods that once shaped the Western world.
