Long Description

The Legacy of Hatred Continues: Is Hal Lindsey Telling the Truth About Christian Reconstruction?
"Anti-Semitism." The word conjures up images of Nazism, Adolf Hitler, and gas ovens. In our day "anti-Semitism" is real, with swastikas painted on synagogues and verbal epithets hurled at Jews by the Ku Klux Klan and so-called "white supremacists." Purging our land of such an evil will not be accomplished by accusing others of "anti-Semitism" when there is not a shred of evidence to support the claim.
But this is what Hal Lindsey has done in his latest book, The Road to Holocaust. He has labeled anyone who does not agree with him on the issue of eschatology as "unconsciously anti-Semitic." Lies and slander will accomplish nothing ... except book sales.
The authors of The Legacy of Hatred Continues believe that Hal Lindsey is wrong in making eschatology the test of orthodoxy. This book makes clear that the problem is not eschatology but ethics, obedience not expectation. "Anti-Semitism" crosses all eschatological lines, just as love for the Jews crosses all eschatological lines. Hal Lindsey is fostering a legacy of hatred among his Christian brethren and among those who desperately need Jesus Christ: the Jews.
A quick reading of the New Testament will remind anyone that the Apostles were zealous for truth. That's the goal of The Legacy of Hatred Continues. The authors want to preserve a legacy of truth and love so those dead in their trespasses and sins might embrace Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.

Catalog Description

In his 1989 book, The Road to Holocaust, Hal Lindsey accuses everyone who disagrees with his eschatological opinions of being "unconsciously anti-Semitic." He particularly singles out Christian Reconstructionists as guilty of this attitude. In this short study, DeMar and Leithart expose Lindsey's nonsense for what it is. They show that historic Christianity and Christian Reconstructionism are not in the least anti-semitic, and they demonstrate that it is Lindsey who is fostering a legacy of hatred among his Christian brethren. It also demonstrates why Lindsey's slipshod attempts at scholarship have made him an embarrassment among professional theologians. For example, he refutes, "John Rousas Rushdoony."
