The Flight from Humanity: A Study of the Effect of Neoplatonism on Christianity is unavailable, but you can change that!

In this text Rushdoony argues that one of the most neglected but pervasive threats to the Christian world view is that of Neoplatonism. He suggests that basing Christianity on this false Neoplatonic idea will always shift the faith away from the biblical perspective, leading Christians to believe they can escape sin if they can escape the material world. But Scripture says all of man fell into...

nature and freedom, but between sinful man and God. Man by his sin has declared war on God, and as a result is in a state of tension and warfare because of sin, not because of a dual nature. Man’s problem is moral or ethical, not metaphysical. Neoplatonism not only misrepresents the problem man faces, but, by making it metaphysical, makes it necessary to truncate or castrate man of a basic aspect of his being before he can be delivered.
