One pt about this is it is close to restatement,in shared identity terms rather than cultural values terms,of Amy Wax's notorious op-ed from last year (http://www2.philly.com/philly/opinion/commentary/paying-the-price-for-breakdown-of-the-countrys-bourgeois-culture-20170809.html … )-I'm interested to see if stressing "Biblical" rather than "Bourgeois" values lets Hazony off the hook.https://twitter.com/yhazony/status/1057933839388033024 …

Bourgeois values are far more universal and more universally accessible, desired, and achievable by all peoples than Biblical monotheistic values, though I love 'em (the latter) to death.

Could be true. But the Bible contributes values such as tradition, procreation, and nation that are only tangentially “bourgeois” if at all. I suspect that bourgeois-ness just isn’t enough.
