Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines how civilization and government have progressed over time. In contrast to the popular belief that civilization emerged out of barbarism, the author argues that civilization existed first, and societies have degenerated into barbarism over time. The author believes that Christianity can restore civilizations and maintain a standard of morality and that once lost, civilization is difficult to restore. The book presents an alternative view of the origins of civilization, challenging the idea of continuous progress from a ânatural law of development" towards an enlightened present and instead presents a cyclical rise and fall of civilization and culture. The bookâs insights on the connections between civilization and Christianity provide a fresh perspective on how societies can maintain order and advance.
