Overview
And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. Genesis 3:3-4 KJV. (emphasis added) This temptation became the first dark cloud on the horizon of man's idyllic existence in the unfolding drama that ended with his fall and separation from his maker. The serpent's whispered words were the seeds of humanism planted in the fertile field of man's free will. Sensual man was the victor that day for the fruit of humanism was pleasant to the eye and good to eat. The serpent sealed the deal with an offer of wisdom to tempt the root of pride within man. Sweet revenge the serpent chuckled. The pride that cost him his place in the heavens would now rob God of his precious creation. The serpent had rebelled against God and was cast down. Now man had rebelled and was cast out and separated from God for whom he had been created. Henceforth in sorrow and by the sweat of his brow, man must wrest from the cursed ground the herb of the field amidst thorns and thistles. At the end of his days he discovered another of the serpent's lies that had been mixed with truth-he would surely die.This book is the story of two worldviews-humanism and Christianity-that are contending for supremacy in America's central cultural vision. An understanding of this conflict is central to understanding who we were, from whence we came, who we are now, and understanding the swift transformation occurring within America's central cultural vision. To a significant degree this conflict impacts daily the life of every American, and many of them are not conscious of the tactical and strategic maneuvers of the combatants in the swirl of life around them. In Part I we look at the events and circumstances that created the Boomer generation of whom many became the finest flower of the humanist philosophy during the last half of the twentieth century. In Part II an examination is made of the predominant Judeo-Christian worldview and the sources and development of the worldviews of colonial Americans and the American Founders. Part II ends with a look at the roots and ascendency of modern humanism. In Part III the impact of humanism on American institutions-religion, government and politics, family, academia, economics, art, culture, and society in general-are described and examined. Part IV begins with a summarization of the differences between humanism and Christianity and some of the key concepts as redefined by humanists. The present-day status of the Christianity in America and America's central cultural vision will be explored. Finally, the cultural choices that lay before America will be examined along with the means by which the over-arching Judeo-Christian banner may be restored above the central cultural vision of America.
