"Abrams’ thought-provoking book offers a timely, critical reassessment of Protestant fundamentalism’s founding generation” (back cover) --Darren Dochuk University of Notre Dame

Kenneth Clark’s "Civilisation" (1969) remains one of television’s greatest achievements: a luminous, 13-part journey through Western art, architecture, and ideas from the fall of Rome to the 20th century. Clark’s cultivated yet deeply personal narration pairs with stunning location filming of cathedrals, paintings, and landscapes to show how culture has shaped history. More than a survey of masterpieces, it argues that civilization is a fragile, hard-won achievement worth understanding and defending. Watching it sharpens the eye, expands historical imagination, and offers a rare model of intelligent, humane cultural commentary. Few documentaries have matched its grace clarity.
