Episode #106 (September 20, 1985)

In this vigorous and far-reaching session, R.J. Rushdoony takes aim at cultural surrender in the church, beginning with a pointed critique of the Archbishop of Canterbury’s denunciation of Christian missions. From there, he explores the legacy of ancient engineering, the significance of the Flood, and the missionary courage of La Salle. Along the way, he uncovers long-forgotten 19th-century Christian writings, exposes the statist roots of public education, and reflects on Dead Sea Scroll discoveries and the perils of pietism. It’s a rich tour through history, theology, and modern decline—with a clear call to hold fast to biblical truth.
