Pagan America

Evil Is Coming - Worse than You Imagine

We live in an anxious age. Long-held certainties, cherished beliefs, and social trust are crumbling. Don't expect things to get better. For too long we have taken our Christian heritage--the heritage upon which America was built--for granted. But we're rapidly, and now inevitably, losing the Christian culture that shaped the American republic. What will take its place is a despotism--and a new paganism, worse than the old, because it will be based on a hatred of Christianity.

In his stunning new book, Pagan America, author John Daniel Davidson offers a stark but honest assessment of America's future: "America as we know it will come to an end. Instead of a republic of free citizens, we will be slaves in a pagan empire."

There is, he warns, no escape. We can only brace ourselves and prepare for a future when power will determine every relationship. Morality as we know it, as a Christian inheritance, will be forfeit, replaced by state-enforced "morality." Violence will be common--doled out at the hand of an all-powerful state and its corporate allies.

There are hard times ahead, but we are not without hope. Christianity emerged within the confines of a pagan empire. Davidson shows how with courage, fortitude, and faith, it will be our duty and privilege to defend Christianity and restore its claims in what is likely to be a terrible and brutal dark age.
