Though their bodies lie cold and dormant, the grave cannot contain the influence these seven men have had on today's world. They continue to rule because they have altered the thinking of society. They generated philosophies that have been ardently grasped by masses of people but are erroneous and antiscriptural. Today these ideas pervade our schools, businesses, homes, even the church. As we continue to unknowingly subscibe to their philosophies we keep the grave open for Charles Darwin, Karl Marx, Julius Wellhausen, John Dewey, Sigmund Freud, John Maynard Keynes, and Soren Kierkegaard. Dave Breese warns us of the dangers of believing unreservedly the ideas of these seven men. He also reminds us of the only man whose life and words we can trust completely -- Jesus Christ.

One of the best books I've ever read - period. The sections regarding Marx, Darwin, Einstein and Hitler are thought out and articulated very well, showing how today's world is continuing down a slippery slope toward non Judeo-Christian beliefs that originated in the 1800s.

In the last 150 years the attacks on the Scripture have largely come in the form of denying that the Scriptural events actually took place as recorded. In other words, creation is a nice, sweet little story; it tells us great things to tell little kids. Or, stories in the Old Testament were made up centuries later by people who wanted to create a new interpretation of history, etc. So there’s been a downgrading of the validity of the events of Scripture. In this short but powerful historical analysis Dave Breese has provided highly persuasive answers as to why this has come to be. If you have ever wondered how we have come to be in the world we are in you must read this book!

This is a book that I have recommended for several years and have given away to numerous others. Dave Breese is with the Lord but his book remains behind to help us understand why things are the way they are. This is a book that every serious Bible teacher MUST read.

This book personalizes the philosophies that rule our day. It's written extremely well and it is as fun to read as it is educational. I very highly recommend it.
