Apostate - Chapter 6 - Jean-Jacques Rousseau - Forming the Humanist Society

Rousseau promised a world of freedom through autonomy—man “obeying himself alone.” But Scripture names that dream for what it is: the original rebellion, trading God as Lawgiver for self-rule that always ends in bondage. This episode traces how Rousseau’s ideas helped build the modern humanist state, reshaping education, family life, and civil order. Learn why true liberty can’t be engineered by politics, but only received under Christ’s rightful authority.
