Herein is a discussion on the modernist agenda and its creation of the "New Man", the flip side of the Christian man. Dr. Dass points out that the creation of this cult of the New Man is the goal of every revolution; it is a diabolical effort to overthrow the Christian Order. It will bring in its wake a New Church for the new man, a state-regulated church, the only church that will be permitted to exist in society.
