David Hume

“Case argues convincingly that Hume’s writings have a unity, coherence, and systematicness of which few scholars are aware. Case’s account is novel, but the scholarly documentation that he provides for it is rich and persuasive.”


—Peter M. Burkholder, (deceased) Central Washington University





“Conservative Christians in this post-Christian age are in a crisis of cultural exile. Case directs us to eighteenth-century religious skeptic David Hume for terms of peace between the city of God and the city of man. . . . Case has given us a thought-provoking and thoroughly researched work of scholarship, insight, and practical counsel that should stimulate fruitful discussion amongst everyone who desires a peaceful and free society.”


—David C. Innes, Professor of Politics, The King’s College





“Case argues that Hume’s views on experience, customs, and common life—based on the power of custom and not based on any one religion—deserve serious consideration by contemporary Evangelicals as providing a viable social and political framework for American social life today in which Christianity can flourish. This argument deserves serious consideration by Evangelicals searching for a new way after the end of Christendom to shape modern society such that religious freedom and practice may be maintained for all against the ever-expanding state.”


—Guenther Haas, Professor emeritus, Redeemer University





“Provocative, challenging, and worthy of careful consideration. Case has penned a fascinating study of Hume’s philosophy and its relevance for America’s post-Christian society. Even those like myself who find Hume’s ideas insufficient to ground a good society will find much to grapple with here.”
