Existentialism

In Existentialism, Rushdoony argues that modern law, politics, and education are increasingly governed by an existentialist worldview that denies the binding authority of God, history, and objective law, replacing them with the arbitrary demands of the present moment. By treating the past as irrelevant and truth as situational, existentialism dissolves law into power and planning into improvisation, leaving society ruled by expediency rather than justice. Rushdoony contrasts this drift with the biblical foundation of law rooted in God’s sovereignty and covenant over all of history, warning that when Christians restrict Christ’s lordship to the church alone, they surrender culture, law, and hope to humanism. Against the emptiness of existential rule, he affirms that Christ reigns over all things, that His covenant encompasses every sphere of life, and that history itself moves inexorably toward the triumph of His Kingdom. #Existentialism #Rushdoony #ChristianWorldview #BiblicalLaw #ChristIsKing #FaithAndCulture #GodsSovereignty
