The Octopus Of Humanism

Plot

Christianity in the twenty-first century is beset by a host of enemies. Hostile forces are allied in militant opposition to the cause of Christ and the mandates of the Bible. Analysis of this hostility shows, however, that many of these hindrances have a common source. That source is manifesting itself in many forms. Jeff Farnham takes an in-depth look at the things in society that are influencing men against the Gospel of Christ. Using the figure of an octopus with its eight tentacles, he shows how eight philosophical systems that mushroomed in the last century - mysticism, relativism, materialism, secularism, intellectualism, emotionalism, pragmatism and hedonism - all come from the common source of humanism. As Satan first seduced man from obedience to God with the empty offer of an opportunity to "be as gods" (Gen. 3:5), so he has convinced modern man that virtual godhood is possible through human achievements. The author shows the vanity of such thinking and gives eye-opening insight into the ways that humanism has infiltrated all areas of life today - including many churches. --Back Cover
