About this episode
In “Detente,” Rushdoony argues that the modern politics of compromise arise logically from humanism, a faith without absolutes in which nothing is ultimately worth living or dying for. In a world believed to be the product of chance, values are negotiable, law is fluid, and detente becomes a religious necessity rather than a moral failure. Biblical faith, by contrast, demands confrontation not reckless violence, but principled opposition rooted first in evangelism and conversion, and second in resistance to evil. Humanists cannot understand why Christians refuse compromise, because compromise is the only rational course in a meaningless universe. Yet this age of relativism has become the bloodiest in history, as compromise inevitably gives way to coercion when self-interest is threatened. Only a return to Biblical absolutes, covenant law, and Christian dominion can restrain state power and restore law as an instrument of justice rather than control.
