Western civilization is a direct product of Biblical Christianity. In fact, it is moreover a product of the Protestant Reformation, particularly Calvinism, and the teachings of the Seventeenth Century Puritans, which have influenced and formed much of what freedom and morality Western Civilization enjoys today. To be ignorant of these historic truths is to be ignorant of American and Western Civilization's heritage.
Western Civilization's basic structure, political, economic and social, is a direct result of Applied Biblical principals. European and American social theory is a result of God's word applied- Its principals of Theocracy, Theonomy and Reconstruction.
Yet, modern day Western Civilization has rejected God's word, His laws and principals which were given to form and govern social theory and exchanged them for socialism, nationalism, Marxism, fascism, relativism, and ecumenicalism.
This lecture begins a series concerning the cultural implications of Biblical Eschatology as it impacts, not only the social theory of Western Civilization, but also the world. |
