Seven Men Who Rule the World from the Grave
Overview
Though their bodies lie cold and dormant, the grave cannot contain the influence these seven men have had on today's world. They continue to rule because they have altered the thinking of society. They generated philosophies that have been grasped by masses of people but are erroneous and anti-scriptural. As we continue to unknowingly subscribe to their philosophies we keep the grave open for Charles Darwin, Karl Marx, Julius Wellhausen, John Dewey, Sigmund Freud, John Maynard Keynes, and Søren Kierkegaard. Author Dave Breese warns us of the dangers of believing unreservedly the ideas of these seven men. He also reminds us of the only man whose life and words we can trust completely—Jesus Christ.
The notorious seven men and their philosophies have over time infiltrated schools, government and society, effectively planting their own ‘truth’ in replacement of Biblical truth. The work of these men, although sometimes unintentional, attempts to thwart Scripture as a basis for morality, absolute truth and wisdom. With a separate chapter devoted to each man and his theories, this is an eye-opening look at society and how rampant the ideals of these seven men have become—a must-read for Bible scholars, pastors and laypeople.

This work will let you think about the strong arguments it gives. It would be a blessing for most Christians to discuss these men who speak from their graves. This can be done in several Bible studies. A strong point is that the author explains and refutes the damaging thoughts these men brought into the world. If you look closer you can see that most of these men came from Europe. As most philosophies come from Europe and sects from the USA. Then some of the persons I already knew, while one of them was new from me. Still, I learned novel things about each of these persons. One of the solutions against all these wicked philosophies is strong Biblical preaching. Something which is lost in many parts of the world and even needs to penetrate many parts of the world. The 5 points of the fundamentalist are interesting to know and can help us against becoming lukewarm. In the book not all the persons are bad, still, they helped to form the postmodern mindset. In my opinion, Einstein is revered too positively in this book. I also thought of the impact John Nelson Darby had on the world through his rapture theory. How Christianity changed and went from conquering the World by the Gospel to a Christianity that forgets that we need to think of the generations. If you find Darby good or bad is not the question but he made a had a profound impact, on how many see the world today. By listening to the book I noticed that it was written around 1990. We are now more than 30 years further and many things have changed since it is hard to make future predictions. Like, Orthodox Christianity which revived in Russia, the former bastion of communism. Also, this book is much based on the USA but the world is so much more than the USA. This can give us hope for the Christian mindset. For the reason that many nations have an increase in Christianity. Next, This book shows us how important the mind is. By captivating the national mind much horror or bliss can come upon a nation. At last, I hope that this knowledge still reaches many people around the world and set them free.
