I have just finished proofreading one of three unpublished manuscripts by my father that we are just now getting into print. I am not the best proofreader; my job is to compare the typewritten manuscript with my father’s original work ahead of time before these manuscripts go to print.
In fact, I’m not sure what the title will be at present, but the subjects are revolution, underground man (a term created by Dostoyevsky), and subversion. I may publish these as a trilogy, since they are all bout a related theme – the irrationality and suicidal course of man in his rebellion against God -- what Cornelius Van Til referred to as “integration into the void.”
That sounds like our times, does it not? These manuscripts date back to 30-50+ years ago, yet they speak of today’s culture of negation with more precision than most any commentary you would find today. My father often seems prescient because he saw very clearly the direction of ideas and their outworking. These essays are still timely, and I think they might come to be regarded as some of his most important work.
Our supporters enable this ongoing work to keep the message of Christian Reconstruction going. The juggernaut of statist humanism of my youth is coming to the end of its ability to keep up a façade. It is failing at every turn, but the Kingdom of God will both endure and grow.
