Over the past generation, the knowledge and stories related by the Bible that once formed a framework for our laws, literature and even our scientific advances have been lost. Thus, we have a growing population that has been effectively quarantined from the foundation of our culture and immersed in anti-social nihilistic rhetoric, leaving most people adrift without moral or cultural moorings. One ancient figure whose impact in establishing the foundation for Western Culture is the Biblical Abraham.

The phrase “Judeo-Christian” is predominantly used in reference to the idea that the dominant values of Western nations originated in Christian and Jewish thought and beliefs. It has shaped most of the institutions and cultures of the western world. This has occurred despite the fact that many of those who believe they are following Judeo-Christian values actually reject its very founding principles.

Nearly 70 years ago Dr. Hilda Neatby sounded a warning about what she saw as a developing movement to change schools from places of learning, and the transmission of knowledge, to centres where students would become easily engineered to accept new ways of shaping society, free of the restraints imposed by Biblical morality.
