“…I view ideologies as modern types of that ancient phenomenon idolatry, complete with their own accounts of sin and redemption…Like these biblical idolatries, every ideology is based on taking something out of creation's totality, raising it above that creation and making the latter revolve around and serve it.  It is further based on the assumption that this idol has the capacity to save us from some real or perceived evil in the world.  This is a book about political ideologies; the ideologies we shall discuss here have to do with politics and its place within human life.” (Political Visions and Illusions by David T. Koyzis, p.15)
