Overview

Throughout history, the church has warned against idolatry, once symbolized by temples and graven images. However, in today’s world, idolatry has taken a far more insidious form—humanistic ideologies that challenge biblical truth.

In The Discipline of Delusion: How Secular Ideas Became the New Idolatry, Jerry Bangert examines how the church has drifted from scriptural foundations, seduced by modern secular belief systems such as:

• Scientism – The belief that science is the ultimate authority, excluding faith.
• Secularism – A worldview that removes God from public and personal life.
• Cultural Marxism – A philosophy that reshapes social values away from biblical principles.

Bangert argues that the original temptation in the Garden—the pursuit of knowledge apart from God—remains the root of idolatry today. As a result, many Christians have adopted a “discipline of delusion”, listening more to culture than to Scripture. This book offers a compelling call to return to biblical truth and resist the deceptive ideologies shaping modern thought.
