Fellow American,
President Donald Trump recently highlighted the importance of our “Western tradition”—meaning the foundation of Western Civilization—in a speech to the people of Poland.
The media took issue with the phrase “Western tradition,” accusing him of promoting an “alt-right manifesto” that only celebrates dead white men.
While the media reacts strongly to anything Trump says, this particular response shows that there is a great misunderstanding of the meaning of Western heritage and its foundations.
- The Hebrew legacy and emergence of Christianity
- The Greek legacy, including Socrates’ echoing question: “What is the right way for a man to live?”
- The Renaissance and rebirth of the glories of antiquity
- The Reformation of the Christian church
- The Scientific Revolution
- and more...
This course gives you a complete overview of the grand and unique story of the West. I encourage you to take this course and share it with your friends and family.
Warm Regards,
Larry P. Arnn
