Although the reality
of God's continuous relationship with His creation and His intervention in
human life and history are the very essence of the teachings of the Founders of
the revealed religions, dogmatic materialism today insists that even the nature
of religion itself can be adequately understood only through the use of an
academic methodology designed to ignore the truths that make religion what it
is.
