Marxist ideology is the only fully scientific ideology, the only one able to guide mankind toward the settlement of fundamental social problems and to point out the royal road for the proletariat to take in its march toward socialism and communism. Without Marxism, modern people cannot establish true social ideals, nor can they engage in the rational pursuit of values. Without Marxism, modern people cannot choose the correct path of development, nor can they build up new forms of civilizations. Without Marxism, modern people would never base their commitments to schedule the consensus-building effort and support the consensus-building process on any irrefutably and sufficiently sound theoretical foundations.
Maintains that history makes sense only when understood as the history of salvation. Shows how the very possibility of history, as distinct from chronicle, arises from the revealed knowledge of God's creative work. Christ, as God entering history, becomes its centre and both judges and illumines it, with consequences for all past and present philosophies. With Christ as norm, the author examines Marxism, logical positivism, existentialism and other secular interpretations of history, and distinguishes between their valid and false concepts. Then, after searching exposition of the Christian theology of history in which God's presence is continuous, he concludes with a section explaining how the Christian, in a sense, not only "experiences" history, but "makes" it. More than an answer for the anxious and a refutation of those who see Christianity simply as one historical stream among many, this book is a commanding invitation for all mankind to take part in history--to participate individually and collectively in the work of salvation.
There has been a surprising absence of a general philosophical overview of progress as a method of articulating human meaning. This book attempts to fill this gap.
