Farnham, Jeff, The author takes an in-depth look at the forces that are influencing men against the Gospel of Christ. He places the blame for this development on humanism and its eight philosophical outgrowths: relativism, materialism, mysticism, secularism, intellectualism, emotionalism, pragmatism, and hedonism. These movements, which are like the arms of an octopus, have even infiltrated our churches.
