Abstract

“The literature of humanism ranges over such superficially distinct ideologies as socialism, anarchism, evolutionism, vitalism, eugenics, behaviorism, progressive education, legal positivism, historicism, the human potential movement, globalism, religious syncretism, and occultism. The themes and variations of this literature are linked by a few leitmotifs, or “leading ideas.” In one way or another they parody Scripture and God’s promises.
