From the dust jacket:
The 1985 Florida College lectures on Humanism: Devotion to
Man is a book that all Christians should read. The essence of humanism is
nowhere better expressed than by Karl Marx, "Man is the supreme being for man.”
Generally speaking, there is no room for the God of the Bible in the humanist’s
world view. Although many humanists claim to be religious, neither their
religious views nor their ethical teachings are based upon Biblical absolute.
In fact, most of them, as outright atheists, are thorough-going ethical
relativists. Yet their ideas have permeated most of the religious, political,
and educational institutions of the world. Indeed, their voices control the
thinking of the masses by means of books, magazines, newspapers, radios ,and TV
networks.
This book is designed to be a positive response to humanism.
You will find on its pages not only scholarly arguments against humanism but
also practical alternatives for everyday living. From James Needham’s opening
speech on "Sound the Alarm” to Homer Hailey’s closing exhortation to "Constancy
in Times of Conflict,” you will find material that is fresh, exciting, and
challenging. Our sincere hope is that parents who read these lectures will be
provoked to do something to revoke the present monopoly and rising influence of
humanism.
