Books by James Larry Hood

Hood explores the traditional western (Judeo-Christian) faith in God and the West's once common understanding of the natural order and the nature and destiny of man. He explains how the United States is currently caught up in a cataclysmic clash between a traditional understanding of man and a post-modern worldview.

This is the story of Kentucky, the nation's restless heart, and of its people's ongoing search for home and freedom, as seen through multiple prisms of irony and paradox.

This book explores the argument between Traditionalists and Secularists over religion and their very different understandings of the meaning of freedom. Does the old religion, the western tradition as manifested in the United States, sustain and strengthen freedom or does it circumscribe freedom so much that religion destroys freedom?
