Modern Times by Paul Johnson gives an overview of the history from the nineteen twenties until the nineteen nineties. He bases his book on the presuppositions of the Judeo-Christian worldview. Johnson is very clear in his belief in the Judeo-Christian worldview as he states it explicitly multiple times throughout his lengthy book.

“The Gospel According to Larry” was published by Janet Tashjian. “Larry” thinks he can change the world at just seventeen-years-old by starting a fan club talking about his sermons. Sermon number ninety seven is the one I relate to the best. Josh, also known as Larry, gives his own opinion about the sermons he writes himself. In sermon ninety seven, Larry is asking the fan club if the people who they are around every day, are they worth keep forever? Are they going to be there when you are in the toughest times?

Perhaps no other director has generated such a broad range of critical reaction as D.W. Griffith. For students of the motion picture, Griffith's is the most familiar name in film history. Generally acknowledged as America's most influential director (and certainly one of the most prolific), he is also perceived as being among the most limited. Praise for his mastery of film technique is matched by repeated indictments of his moral, artistic, and intellectual inadequacies. At one extreme, Kevin Brownlow has characterized him as "the only director in America creative enough to be called a genius." At the other, Paul Rotha calls his contribution to the advance of film "negligible" and Susan Sontag complains of his "supreme vulgarity and even
