How Secular Humanism Displaced Christianity in Modern Culture with Fr. John Strickland
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 сер 2024
- “Before there was a West, there was Christendom.” Fr. John Strickland has written a monumental four-part history of Christendom-from the first millennium of Christendom which he deems “the age of paradise” to our current cultural condition which he labels “the age of nihilism.” telling the story of how both came to be.
On this episode Fr. John Strickland joins Hank to discuss his book The Age of Utopia: Christendom from the Renaissance to the Russian Revolution, which covers the period between the Italian Renaissance of the fourteenth century and the Russian Revolution of the twentieth, when secular humanism displaced Christianity to become the source of modern culture. The result was some of the most illustrious music, science, philosophy, and literature ever produced. But the cultural reorientation from paradise to utopia―from an experience of the kingdom of heaven to one bound exclusively by this world―all but eradicated the traditional culture of the West, leaving it at the beginning of the twentieth century without roots in anything transcendent.

Nevermind the fact that Christ was of the working class, as were the majority of His apostles. Definitely pay no attention to the fact that Christianity was a religion explicitly persecuted by the ancient bourgeoise for hundreds of years before an emperor (the very top of the bourgeoise food chain) converted. The logic of "all religion is made by rich people to oppress the poor" espoused by communists unravels itself. Then begins the backtracking to "oh it was made by the poor to cope and THEN the rich co-opted it", and here we are running around the rope again until we get tired of it and cry "Christ is Lord".
@KnoxEmDown Not seeing the nascent Marxism in the early Christian community story. See www.equip.org/articles/was-the-early-church-communist/
@@BibleAnswerManI'm well aware Christ is not marxist, nor are His apostles.
Kingdom of Heaven earthly (outside)
Kingdom of God Spiritually (inside)
Kingdom of God starts in the inside and then expressed on the outside Kingdom of Heaven.
Christ was both the kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of God.
But now as believers, we partake in Him and therefore as he is so are we. We are both as well.
The reason why the world is failing is because we are the law of this world or the light in this world through Christ. If the church is failing so will the world fail.
@BrandonGray Thanks for the input. 🙏
I would replace the word "displaced" with the more accurate "superseded." Christianity is part of an era in which humans explained certain features of life in one certain way - in the case of Christianity, it's an aspiration for cosmic justice. We are most just humans and want life to be just and the fact is--it simply isn't a lot of the time. But that doesn't keep Christians from wanting a reward for behaving in some kind of way. Meaning: It's a TRANSACTION.
@jenna2431 How has secular humanism superseded Christianity?
"If we turn away from evil out of fear of punishment, we are in the position of slaves. If we pursue the enticement of wages, . . . we resemble mercenaries. Finally if we obey for the sake of the good itself and out of love for him who commands . . . we are in the position of children." - St. Basil the Great, iirc.
So, Christianity is in proper form when one's worship is NOT merely transactional or (God forbid) fear-based, but rather when it constitutes a loving relationship in the fashion of Heavenly Father and child. As for supercession... Hahahahahaha no. I've seen the fruit of the "secular age", and it is naught but a living death, an atomization and isolation of the human person to a degree so horrific and unsustainable that any civilization which seriously eats of it collapses in on itself... As we are witnessing now. All the "advancement" in the world means nothing if it is at the cost of the human soul.
