Welcome to the Eric Metaxis show with your host, Eric Metaxus.

Folks, this is the Eric Metaxis show.

As you know, part of the magic of this show is the

relationships I've built over the years. People that you just won't see on other programs,

but I happen to know that they're the kind of people you want to hear from. One of those people

is Dr. Peter Craft. In fact, three of those people are dr peter craved

and i have him or them on the program right now dr craft i just love talking to you about anything

welcome to the program oh so i'm triplets now well this is one of my two evil twins well i

identify as twins and i thought you know you're a little older than i am so you can identify'm triplets now. Well, this is one of my two evil twins. Well, I identify as twins, and I thought, you know, you're a little older than I am, so you can identify as triplets.

Let me just say you have a new book out.

You have written now 80 books, which is astonishing.

But I want to say that I think the first time I was acquainted with you was in the early 90s. I was reading

your books published by Ignatius Press. Is this book published by Ignatius?

Yes, it is. Unbelievable. Well, you've written so many books, but the title of this one is how to

destroy Western civilization and other ideas from the cultural abyss.

That's kind of a big thing.

So before we get into that, let me say to people that you've written many books,

but also you're a professor of philosophy at Boston College and at the King's College here in New York City.

What led you to write a book with the title How to Destroy Western Civilization and other ideas

from the Cultural Abyss?

Well, when you see your house burning down, you pay attention.

I'm part of Western civilization.
