Later Than You Think
The 21st century mission field for Christians in America features Critical Race Theory in all of its various forms. How should we prepare? How do we think about it? Most important, how can we reach those who are passionate believers in the quasi-religious belief system that is CRT?
Later Than You Think
Christianity & Marxism Part 1: God and Man
For Christians to understand their mission field in 21st century America, we need to understand Critical Race Theory (CRT) and its roots, one of which is Marxism. In this episode we talk about some of Marx's basic teachings and how they relate to two of the main headings in Christian theology -- God and man. We also address the gnostic aspects of Marx's teachings and identify some of the ways they show up in CRT.
Show notes: In discussing Dr. Ed Feser's article, "The Gnostic Heresy's Political Successors," I mis-pronounce his name several times. Rather than overtax my limited editing skills, I apologize to Dr. Feser.
