Has Democracy Had Its Day? Carl F H Henry

In 1996, Dr. Carl F. H. Henry knew where we as a civilization were going as a culture. Were he alive today, Henry would have been agitated, none- theless unfazed by the Supreme Court's redefinition of marriage. Growing acceptance of euthanasia, for example, would only be the logical con- clusion of the abortion worldview that preceded it. He did not so much prophesy the particularities of a culture unmoored from Christianity, as much as he saw it as an eventuality deduced from secular principles. He saw a democratic experiment cutting itself off from its roots and in doing so, inviting upon itself any number of moral revolutions. That's the main argument of Has Democracy Had Its Day?
