King Secularism 1

“In this truly extraordinary book John Ludlum has given us a powerful treatise in apologetics. He has done so, moreover, with prodigious learning, unflinching courage, wit, penetrating analysis, and a trenchant style. In King Secularism he has looked the enemy in the face and utterly demolished his pretensions. He aims at reestablishing Natural Theology as a handmaiden to Revealed Theology in a manner so convincing as to command respect even on the part of those who have chosen another path. Dr. Ludlum has painted on a large canvas with a very fine brush. His grasp of theological and philosophical thought is amazingly broad and deep. It is also remarkably surefooted. His massive intellectual attainments are at every point pressed into the service of the Lord God whom he adored and to whom all his life he dedicated his mind and heart. The arguments of his book seem to me unanswerable. Though his is a voice crying in the wilderness, the book with which he has gifted us will, I believe, have a drawing, encouraging power for those willing to heed what he has to say. In this survey of the havoc wrought in the churches and throughout the Western World by malign men in the service of Satan (he does not hesitate to accept for true the teaching of the Bible regarding the devil), Dr. Ludlum is irrepressibly optimistic in his view of what is yet to be. It is both a privilege and a joy to commend King Secularism with unqualified enthusiasm. Those who read it will undoubtedly profit from the experience.”
