Culture and Belief: A Christian Overview of History

In presenting this overview of history it was found necessary to warn the reader of what is to come. While researching background material for this work, the author discovered facts of a disturbing nature that led him into the recognition that there is a hidden force at work directing current historical events. For the past 600 years, cultural progress has often been stifled by the international wars we have waged against each other. Those conflicts have never been worth their cost in blood and treasure; and usually they did not succeed in achieving their stated goals. This, Six Hundred Years long, series of wars and disasters has left the nations on every side with hecatombs of dead along with dislocated economies and with burdens of debt they can never repay. Reviewing this litany of human sufferings, the author was suddenly struck by an appalling thought; the thought that, perhaps, these wars have only been incidents, in one single Six Hundred Year's War'one war, with the repeated outbreaks of violence and terror merely episodes. The Question Is: What is really going on? The Answer Is: The world is still involved in ?the war of the counter-reformation.' It is a religious and political war that began in the year 1517, and is the war that continues to this present day. It is the war for the world! That is what is really going onCRANE, L. E.
