The Pillarist: Logos Rising Review– E. Michael Jones

With a subtitle like A History of Ultimate Reality, and a somewhat lengthy (although, by Jones’ standards, restrained) page count pushing the nine-hundreds, it’s hard to stifle one’s first impressions: “ambitious!” But the ambition is met by the author’s competence. Jones is no stranger to dense, seemingly convoluted, and historically complicated subject matter; his last major work, Barren Metal, was a dissection of usury both in theory and in practice, cutting a path through the history of medieval Europe all the way up to the last financial crisis. Prior to that, he published a history of revolution that got him effectively blacklisted from polite, respectable society; he learned the hard way that naming your book The Jewish Revolutionary Spirit, and then writing at length upon the theological identity of contemporary Judaism, is a good way to have figures you considered friends stop returning your calls.

The Slaughter of Cities

/

E. Michael Jones was recently banned from Amazon, a rare and laser-specific strike to censor books. What is so scary to the elite about books like E. Michael Jones’ 600-page Slaughter of Cities is that it disassembles several foundational myths both local to Jones’ life in Irish American Philadelphia - like the life of Irish American historian Dennis J. Clark - and myths that are nationwide like the mainstream view on the movement to insert blacks into ethnic neighborhoods that revved up in the 1960s and the true impact of actors like Martin Luther King (born Martin King).

Logos and the Culture Wars

E. Michael Jones has proved to be one of the most brilliant Catholic authors writing today. In this epochal volume ‘Logos Rising : A History of Ultimate Reality’, Jones explores the fascinating history of that metaphysical concept of Logos which alone explains the intelligibility of the universe and man’s rational nature. It is the astonishing achievement of Christianity via the Apostle John to identify Logos/Word with the divine Person of Jesus Christ, declared equal to God, co-eternal with God, and God Himself.

A "Cultural Marxist" Critique of Logos Rising

This is the most important book of the twenty-first century. E. Michael Jones has thrown down an intellectual gauntlet that cannot honorably be ignored…

Everyone should read this book. Many people should read it twice.

Extraordinary Guide to American Converts

/

"This extraordinary guide to American converts shows just how many roads lead to Rome. John Beaumont’s book The Mississippi Flows into the Tiber is an impressive feat, and an invaluable tool for arguing with atheists. … The important thing to say about such a massive work of reference is that it is much more than that: Beaumont has deliberately included long passages, either written by the converts themselves or by their biographers, which are inspiring essays in their own right. There are as many different reasons for joining the Church (or obstacles holding one back) as there are individuals; some of these essays provide excellent material for arguments about the faith one might have with sceptical friends. For this reason the book is invaluable, encompassing as it does an extraordinary range of different characters, with all their human flaws and yet who have all been touched by the grace of conversion. This is not a work of hagiography; Catholic converts are sinners, not saints, some of them spectacularly so. In these pages you will find the notorious mobster, Dutch Schultz, as well as Ernest Hemingway, who married four times and who finally committed suicide. … Clearly, there is nothing as fascinating as the lives of other people – especially when it concerns something as personal as the journey of the soul."
