Excerpt from Man's Partnership With Divine Providence There is scarce any doctrine in the whole compass of revelation, which is of deeper importance than this. And, at the same time, there is scarce any that is so little regarded, and perhaps so little understood.' The Book of Divine Providence is bigger than the Bible. It covers the course of universal history, it includes the story of all nations and all lives. It deals with the creation of the earth, it traces its progress and development from generation to genera tion. The subject first wove its spell around the writer when he reached that memorable question in the Methodist Catechism: 'what is God's providence?' and learnt the answer: 'his most holy, wise, and powerful preservation and government of all His creatures and all their actions.'

Excerpt from Divine Providence The history of the past as well as the events of the present are exponents of Gods providence. "Providence is the light of history, and the soul of the world." A universe without a God and a God without a providence are contradictions. All stand as living witnesses to testify that an all-wise, all-powerful, and benevolent Being is managing the affairs of the universe. Wherever we turn our eye, we see unmistakable evidences of design; and wherever we see such evidences of design, we see proof of the prior existence of the designer. Whence all this harmony, and all this adaptation of one thing to another? Is it all the result of chance? Nay, this can not be, for confusion 13 the law of chance. The primary signification of the word providence is to provide; hence we see in all the arrangements of nature a provision and adaptation as wonderful as they are wise and benevolent. There is a power that pervades and actuates the world of matter and mind. The whole series of events in nature proceeds not by accident, but according to a wise provision made in advance. Accident, chance, and fortune are words often used but seldom understood. In the sense in which they are most commonly used, they are meaningless. What is mostly set down as accident or chance is only the mysterious workings of Providence; we see the effect but not the cause.

Excerpt from Providence in Reference to Nations: A Lecture Delivered Before the Halifax Young Men's Christian Association, April 6th, 1858 But Providence in the Opinion of many has reference exclu sively to individuals. Corporate bodies are proverbially skep tical. Christian men in companies have oft consented to run steamers and railway trains on the Lord's day, and yet never dreamed of opening their own shops or offices; and good men are silent when those who in 'high places are acting for them and others, are leading the nation in a course of hostility to the law of God. Responsibility is forgotten or thought to be dissipated among the million like the electric fluid, when it strikes earth or ocean and diffuses itself in ten thousand dirceo tions. Such silence is wrong. Responsibility remains. It is indeed diffused over all, and the righteous Lord will treat cor porate bodies as well as individuals, according to their deeds. If the nation exists by divine appointment and if the legitimate functions of government are ordained of God, then surely it is amenable to divine law. If Christian men forming an insu rance company or a railway company are bound in their cor porate capacity to act rightly, so are they who constitute a. Commonwealth, whether civic, provincial or national; and when we open the Bible we find in fact that nations as such are ad dressed, commanded, encouraged and threatened.

Emerging from two decades of the Great Depression and the New Deal and facing the rise of radical ideologies abroad, the American Right seemed beaten, broken, and adrift in the early 1950s. Although conservative luminaries such as T. S. Eliot, William F. Buckley Jr., Leo Strauss, and Eric Voegelin all published important works at this time, none of their writings would match the influence of Russell Kirk's 1953 masterpiece The Conservative Mind. This seminal book became the intellectual touchstone for a reinvigorated movement and began a sea change in Americans' attitudes toward traditionalism. In Russell Kirk, Bradley J. Birzer investigates the life and work of the man known as the founder of postwar conservatism in America. Drawing on papers and diaries that have only recently become available to the public, Birzer presents a thorough exploration of Kirk's intellectual roots and development. The first to examine the theorist's prolific writings on literature and culture, this magisterial study illuminates Kirk's lasting influence on figures such as T. S. Eliot, William F. Buckley Jr., and Senator Barry Goldwater—who persuaded a reluctant Kirk to participate in his campaign for the presidency in 1964. While several books examine the evolution of postwar conservatism and libertarianism, surprisingly few works explore Kirk's life and thought in detail. This engaging biography not only offers a fresh and thorough assessment of one of America's most influential thinkers but also reasserts his humane vision in an increasingly inhumane time.
