SPOTLIGHT: The Eclipse of God in America


Written by Alyssa Sonnenburg

Dr. Erwin Lutzer is the pastor emeritus of Moody Church in Chicago and is the author of the highly acclaimed books including The Church in Babylon, When a Nation Forgets God, and The Eclipse of God.

In this special episode of Spotlight, Dr. Lutzer sits down with Monte Larrick to discuss what inspired his newest book, The Eclipse of God.

“If the baboon is our grandfather– if we are only animals on a continuum with animals… we have no argument against abortion, euthanasia. We have no argument such tings as infanticide…

When the animals rights movement wants to elevate animals to the level of human beings, it actually brings man down to the level of animals. The implications of this are absolutely huge.”

This is an important episode that you don’t want to miss.
