About this listen

Did you know that the first colleges of America were all Christian colleges that prepared their students not only for this life but for the eternal life to come? Sadly, these schools today are effectively atheistic.

How did this change happen, and was it justified? As this book explains, it was largely due to the onslaught of naturalism-based science during the 1800s as energized by the critical philosophy of Immanuel Kant. Science pressured the schools, but the addition of Kant's super-subjectivism turned science into a religion that could not live at peace with Christianity.

In The Slaves of Immanuel Kant, Dr. Engleman first serves up a brief history of philosophy leading to the Enlightenment and Kant's Critique of Pure Reason. He refutes Kant's critical philosophy by revealing its self-refuting, circular, and even nonsensical nature. Highlighting the Christian characteristics of three sample early colleges, Harvard, Yale, and Princeton, Engleman reveals how the Kant-energized religion of science aggressively drove the old faith out of the schools in the late 1800s. The result has been a disaster, both temporally and eternally. What remains is a call for American schools to regain an eternal perspective—a perspective most excellently expressed by a great Harvard man nearly four centuries ago: "Let every student be plainly instructed, and earnestly pressed to consider well, the main end of his life and studies is, to know God and Jesus Christ, which is eternal life, and therefore to lay Christ at the bottom, as the only foundation of all sound knowledge and learning." (Henry Dunster, president of Harvard College 1640-1654)
