Synopsis

In this brief book, Albert Hughes identifies critical errors of philosophical judgment carried down from the Age of Enlightenment that are responsible for the widespread lapse of Faith and Christian practice in the Western world, i.e., the decline of Christendom. Not that the general population are students of philosophy, but that the key suppositions of materialism, positivism, rationalism and relativism have been enculturated over time in the habitual thoughts and actions of the many. As will be shown, these “…isms” at best, are misleading paradigmatic half-truths. They have led to an apocalypse of religious indifference in the Western world. There are in particular four specific paradigmatic half-truths; philosophies subconsciously accepted by many, that are the root cause from which springs the cultural conflict waged today in the courts, in politics, in media and especially within families. As paradigms, these philosophic “Digms” – materialism, positivism, rationalism and relativism – are the root cause of conflicting decisions at the heart of National discord and disunity; they tear us apart. For the sake of civil discourse and the recovery of National unity, perhaps in our own time we all can join in asking one another: “Buddy, can you spare a ‘Digm?”

I In short, he went from agnosticism to Faith, to Baptism to a Pentecostal (Charismatic) encounter of the Holy Spirit in ten weeks.
