The Death of Meaning

By: R. J. Rushdoony

Narrated by: Nathan F. Conkey

For centuries on end, humanistic philosophers have produced endless books and treatises that attempt to explain reality without God or the mediatory work of his son, Jesus Christ. Modern philosophy has sought to explain man and his thought process without acknowledging God, his revelation, or man's sin. God holds all such efforts in derision and subjects their authors and adherents to futility. Philosophers who rebel against God are compelled to abandon meaning itself, for they possess neither the tools nor the place to anchor it. The works of darkness championed by philosophers past and present need to be exposed and reproved.

In this volume, Dr. Rushdoony clearly enunciates each major philosopher's position and its implications, identifies the intellectual and moral consequences of each school of thought, and traces the dead-end to which each naturally leads. There is only one foundation. Without Christ, meaning and morality are anchored to shifting sand, and a counsel of despair prevails. This penetrating yet brief volume provides clear guidance, even for laymen unfamiliar with philosophy.

This is a manifestos

I couldn’t help but laugh. This is a manifesto for a one world CHRISTIAN government that puts homosexuals to death. It’s a license to judge all people that don’t believe in Christianity (more specifically: his version of). His dream seems to be communism run by Christians with an iron fist.

Another excellent work

There is invariably a great pleasure felt while reading or listening to the expositional genius of Rushdoony. This volume is certainly no exception.
