Ok i'l look into it

Hey guys, I was wondering if you have a link to Nick's Catholic book list he used for the debate against Styx, or a book that contains a more scientific/historical approach to establishing the existence of Christ and his Resurrection, as well as other things Jesus did in his life on Earth. I am currently a recovering atheist and am looking for a good recommendation regarding that before I delve into Aquinas

I'll probably end up pairing what you guys recommend with Mere Christianity

Not nicks list but here's the christian reading list from /pol/ and /lit/

my books came in today! I got who are we, coming anarchy, reflections on the rev in france, and cuckservative

Cool, so i guess i need to read the bible front to back first, which makes the most logical sense actually, ill google around to see what the most preferred bible translations are for the Catholic Church

@webdevanon everyone has told me to get the douay-rheim bible when i was asking that same question

Awesome man, ill order it tonight, thanks!

no problem, youre welcome

@webdevanon I’ve been reading rsvce because I can’t get through as much of kjv in one sitting, but it’s still good and isn’t missing many messages that I’ve noticed

Just try to read like 10 chapters a day, don’t burn yourself out on it

Any of you lads read the republic?

@Martin_Luther I’ve read some it for school, long book but the ultimate idea of philosopher king shows that monarchy is the most stable form of government

I just finished Cuckservative

A great read

Will look forward to trying to get my boomer dad to read it

@AngloCelticRebel Shit , never thought of Vod day as a good gateway but I think your right

@Metaphysical Monarchist it was thanks to @DeplorablePapa he gave me the idea to use it as its what worked for him

@AngloCelticRebel I always thought you gotta start cucks with Crowder, then Tucker etc but Vox truly is a great starting point for traditionalism/nationalism

>christian reading list doesn't have Nihilism: The Root of the Revolution of the Modern Age
Incomplete

holy shit

why is the bell curve so big

*slaps book* this thing can hold alot of facts

Thank you for the book list

tfw tried reading Evola and its too autistic

boi

Its basically just all occult larping. I didn't try the more political stuff like matr and ride the tiger, but I read all or most of 3 others and his idea of the way the world works is basically just goofy. There are probably fragments of truth here and there in the picture he paints but its really no more than just wacky occult shit once you get past the superficial stuff

@Mephisto Did you read me amongst the ruins?

no but I have it, I decided to take a break and just started on guenon

is Matr better

Haven’t read Matr

Men amongst the ruins is the best imo

About traditionalism

I read the hermetic traditon, like 2/3 or doctrine of awakening and I got half way through Revolt before I decided I was getting much out of it

Connection of people to the land their ancestors settled

Yeah some of his stud is way out there

A bit of Heidegger and Nietzsche is maybe berter

I dunno any Christian philosophers that fit the mood of them Do you?

Men Among the Ruins: Post-War Reflections of a Radical Traditionalist https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0892819057/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_nmkyBb23F0434

Yeah fundamentally its basically just saying that the perennial truth is that the elite can reach an "unconditioned state" that makes them greater than God and allows them to transcend all abstractions, order/chaos and what not. It also makes you immortal essentially.
Thats his spiritual belief

I've been reading Nietzsche as well, started the Gay Science and I really like it, I've just been reading it slowly.

There's Fr Seraphim Rose who was inspired by Guenon to become Orthodox but I'm pretty sure he wasn't technically in the traditionalist school

and then Coomaraswamy (probably spelling it wrong) was an Indian traditionalist who became Catholic
