О книге
✝️ Catholic Star-Rated Critique ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4.7/5) William Cabell Bruce’s Benjamin Franklin: Self-Revealed, Volume 1 captures the astonishing growth of a man who would come to symbolize the intellect and moral vigor of the early Republic. In this first volume, we see Franklin as the ambitious printer, inventor, and moralist — a man guided by reason and driven by virtue, yet often blind to the necessity of divine grace. From a Catholic perspective, Franklin’s creed of self-improvement and moral calculation, while admirable, reflects the limitations of Enlightenment rationalism when detached from the supernatural virtues. Yet Bruce’s account invites the Christian listener to recognize how natural virtue can prepare the soul for higher truths — prudence, industry, and humility forming a bridge to faith. The work stands as both biography and moral mirror: the story of a man trying to build a moral compass without the North Star of revelation. Highlights: Deep psychological portrait of Franklin’s moral development Sharp analysis of Enlightenment ideals vs. Christian virtue A balanced, historically grounded narrative with literary grace
