A Christian Perspective

"The Bible lays the foundation of all subsequent history by sketching the division of the human race into its three great families, and describing their earliest migrations." -Thalheimer's Histories

Doctor R.J. Rushdoony, a renowned Christian theologian, widely credited as the father of both Christian Reconstruction ism and the modern homeschool movement (1), wrote and spoke extensively on the subject of the war against humanism, often in special reference to education.

In Rushdoony's book Intellectual Schizophrenia (highly recommended), he stated that "There is no law, no society, no justice, no structure, no design, no meaning apart from God." Applying this belief to education therefore, he concluded that modern education in the public schools is subject to schizophrenia.

Why? Because the modern textbook must teach a rational subject (such as Math, Grammar, or History), which has order and rules which do not change; but at the same time the atheistic, humanist, evolutionist state claims that the world is founded in chaos, and therefore nothing can be completely true or utterly false.

Written during a time when the United States considered itself to be a Christian nation, the Eclectic Education Series acknowledges God's influence over all areas of life, rather than ignoring God and trying to separate the Creator from the Creation.

By using this curriculum, your child can receive an education where God, the Creator of language, math, and history, was always present in the mind of the author, creating a thought process that is cohesive with reality, instead of a continual battle with schizophrenia.
