About this listen
In Our False Premises, Rushdoony traces the collapse of modern thought to a fatal shift in starting points, from the triune God and His Word to the autonomous mind, reason, and emotions of man. Following thinkers from Descartes to Kant and Hegel, he shows how rationalism exalted human reason as final judge, while Romanticism divinized feelings, producing emotionalism, revival techniques, and a man-centered faith that treats conversion as a human act rather than God’s sovereign work. Both paths, though opposed in style, share the same false premise: man chooses God by his mind or emotions. Against this error, Rushdoony insists that true faith, wisdom, and renewal begin only when reason and emotion are restored to their proper place under God’s authority, affirming that salvation, truth, and fruitfulness flow from God’s choosing of man, not man’s choosing of God. #OurFalsePremises #Rushdoony #ChristianWorldview #BiblicalAuthority #Rationalism #Emotionalism #ReformedTheology #FaithAndCulture
