POSTMODERNISM, FASCISM & THE CHURCH: Dr. Gene Edward Veith

While fascism was militarily defeated in WWII, the ideology of fascism is alive and well in some of the most unsuspected areas of our society. Dr. Gene Edward Veith is Provost and Professor of Literature at Patrick Henry College and author of Modern Fascism: The Threat to the Judeo-Christian Worldview. Dr. Veith explores the fascist influences that continue to permeate postmodern culture and thought in atheistic existentialism (Martin Heidegger and his following), literary deconstructionism (Paul De Man and his following), Darwinian evolution, relativism, mass media culture, violence, abortion, environmentalism, and rock concerts. Veith even demonstrates how fascism, perhaps unknowingly, permeates the current thinking in the Church, especially the postmodern Church. This interview is sure to stir up controversy and, hopefully, a careful rethinking of culture, politics and the Church.
