Episode Details

In “The Crucifixion of the Guilty,” R.J. Rushdoony critiques the modern moral inversion where guilt is valorized and innocence dismissed. Drawing from figures like Frank Harris and Emile Durkheim, he shows how society increasingly justifies sin by redefining it as honesty or social progress. The true scandal, in this view, is not wrongdoing but the moral standards that judge it. Rushdoony warns this is a product of a culture that acts as if God is dead—and thus discards His law. But God is not dead, and judgment is inevitable unless there is repentance and a return to biblical truth.
