Post-Christian Era
Description
In Post-Christian Era, Rushdoony rejects the claim that the modern world has moved beyond Christianity, arguing instead that it is humanism not Christianity that is collapsing under its own contradictions. Tracing the Enlightenment’s militant rejection of biblical faith and its eventual descent through Darwin, Freud, and existential despair, he shows how humanism has stripped life of meaning, dignity, and hope, producing a culture marked by nihilism, occultism, and a longing for destruction. Far from facing a post-Christian age, Rushdoony contends that we are witnessing the death of a long post-Christian, humanistic order and the opening of a historic opportunity for biblical faith. The task before Christians is not waiting for political magic or instant solutions, but patient reconstruction planting, building, and working in faith confident that God brings growth in His time and that history belongs not to despairing majorities but to faithful men who act under God’s Word. #PostChristianEra #Rushdoony #ChristianWorldview #FaithAndCulture #Humanism #BiblicalReconstruction #Hope #KingdomOfGod
