Of Caesar and God
More of the American republic's founders may have been children of the Scottish Enlightenment than the French, but all us Americans are children of the enlightenment in some way.
Ralph Woods reviewed Jonathan Rogers's The Terrible Speed of Mercy: A Spiritual Biography of Flannery O'Connor. Woods makes an excellent point:
When Christians have been decisively shaped by their Enlightenment heritage, they are not likely to discern the drastic difference between the agenda of the state and the witness of the Church. Though sometimes overlapping, they are never coterminous. The prophetic and sacramental body of Christ, as O'Connor saw from the start, will scandalize even the best political regimes.
You will enjoy the whole review.
