Saving Leonardo: A Call to Resist the Secular Assault on Mind, Morals, and Meaning

Saving Leonardo examines whether secularism is a positive force in modern society or leads to fragmentation and harm. Nancy Pearcey argues that secularism is destructive and dehumanizing, tracing how revolutionary thinkers, artists, ideas, and events have progressively unleashed secular worldviews that undermine human dignity and liberty. Pearcey analyzes the real-world impact of ideas in philosophy, science, art, literature, and film—cultural voices present in classrooms, theaters, and homes. A former agnostic, she presents historic Christianity as a holistic and humane alternative to secular worldviews. The book equips readers to understand and respond to ideologies reshaping society and daily life. The work includes more than 100 art reproductions and illustrations supporting its themes. It is intended for Christians, secularists, and those uncertain of their worldview, offering analysis meant to challenge established perspectives.
