We would like to take a moment to mention a very good book to anyone who stumbles onto this blog. The tome in view is Jonah Goldberg’s Liberal Fascism, published by Doubleday, and presently at the top of the “most read” lists. We would really classify it as a “must read”.
We have especially enjoyed Mr. Goldberg’s historical research as he methodically assembles the case that our present government, and political dialectic, is idolatrous in nature and practice. This is a position we have long held on theological and philosophical grounds, and Mr. Goldberg’s presentation unveils the history of this development. It is not apparent from the book if he embraces Biblical Christianity, but he is quite adept with ‘church speak’ and seems to have more than a passing understanding of Christian theology.
This is a book we had hoped that someone would have written, say, ten or fifteen years ago. But, it is here now. This is something that every professing Christian needs to read, consider, and then ask the question, “What do we need to do now?”
Well worth the price and time investment.
