“So this is how a layman in the church might come to object to the study of ‘all this humanistic philosophy,’ and yet have his own general worldview shaped by the objectionable philosophy in question.

American fundamentalism is notorious for adopting in substance various philosophies that have somehow been purified through an ignorance of the adoption.”
