Preface xxix J. Rushdoony intervened to persuade Presbyterian & Reformed, a small Calvinist publishing firm, to publish the book after fundamentalist Moody Press had turned down the manuscript because of its complete opposition to theistic evolution and age-day creationism.s For a fundamentalist in 1993, there is still nothing, except in creationism, where Henry Morris and other dispensationalists have broken with C.
