History as a Theological Science (Educational Christian Faith) (Remastered)

from CR101 Radio - Podcast Network · host R.J. Rushdoony

This session argues that faith reshapes every area of life, so education cannot be neutral: Christianity produces “history” (meaningful, ordered, God-governed events), while humanism produces “social science” (man’s attempt to control and predestine society without God). True history assumes God’s sovereign acts—Creation, Incarnation, and the Second Coming—as the frame and direction of all events, so providence turns even man’s wrath to God’s praise and all things to good for God’s people; humanism, denying that order, treats events as chance and therefore demands total state planning, making “freedom obsolete” because an experiment requires control. History must therefore be taught as a theological science with Scripture as its basic framework, including its essential chronology, and even terms like “Renaissance” and “Enlightenment” are shown as humanistic propaganda describing a long revolution “from Christ to Adam,” i.e., from supernatural man to natural man. The lecture contrasts Isis’s veil-over-the-future with Christ as Alpha and Omega, insists that God and His Word judge all things (not the other way around), and frames the conflict as total war between God-as-absolute and man-as-absolute, with Psalm 2 as the biblical philosophy of history: nations conspire, God laughs, the Son reigns, and rulers are commanded to submit. In Q&A, Lincoln is described as a Deist reshaped by reading systematic theology but not clearly converted; the Reformation is presented as largely anti-Renaissance because the Renaissance papacy was openly humanistic; modern humanism is linked strongly to Plato and Aristotle’s state-centered ethics; and both Franklin and Jefferson are sharply criticized as overrated Deists, while Patrick Henry is held up as a decisive, openly Christian statesman whose faith and strategic action secured America’s westward future. #HistoryAsTheologicalScience #NoNeutralEducation #BiblicalWorldview #Providence #Predestination #AgainstHumanism #Psalm2 #ChristianEducation #SocialScienceVsHistory #ChristIsLord
