A brilliant and compelling call to reason

This book is the published form of the four Rutherford Lectures C.F.H. Henry gave in 1989 at Rutherford House in Edinburgh.Henry begins by showing Christians how they have abandoned their "intellectual birthright" and settled for "a mess of pseudo-intellectual pottage." He argues that modern Evangelicals have in fact cast off their moral and epistemic moorings by trading the foundation of Scripture for anti-Christian thought systems. Henry identifies the decay of Western society as the result of this trade.Henry then argues that a return to the presuppositional method, founded upon the axioms given by God in Scripture, will return Christianity to its proper place in the intellectual arena and cause a radical change in the church. Only then, says Henry, will we again drink from the "eternal springs" found in the glorious truths of God's Word and drastically alter our sinking society.Marvellously written and enjoyable to read, I strongly recommend this book for anyone who is interested in Christian thought and desires to see the destructive trends of our society reversed.
