Politics Law and Disorder in the Garden of Eden The Quest for Identity

<p>This is the first major work to present a political legal theological philosophical and missiological view - validated by ancient Jewish Rabbinical hermeneutical strategies - of the current maelstrom affecting Western society. The author employs a conservative Judeo-Christian and political standpoint in evaluating the challenge to accepted values morals and precepts underpinning Western civilization. The dramatic story of the primordial origins of Identity ideologies and their devastating effect many centuries later upon contemporary culture is revealed. Coercive Identity Politics have revolutionized the established political and legal arrangement and the essential freedoms inherent in the West's classical liberal democratic political order. The existential contest between the Judeo-Christian faith and secular humanist new age neo-pagan ideologies is a struggle for identity - a struggle for the very soul of humanity. This conflict originated at the time of creation in the Garden of Eden to be resolved only in the eschatological age. In the interim society reels from the onslaught on its traditional way of life. Yet there is hope as this Book explains.</p>
