Murdoch Campbell believed that moral and religious decline have sapped our spiritual strength. We no longer have the resources to avert impending social collapse, or to reduce the resulting risk of inferno, deliberate or accidental. Yet if we pray penitently for the promised outpouring of the Holy Spirit and preach the Gospel faithfully, we shall escape hurt, and receive intimations of the long summer of coming millennial peace. Self-preservation may deter nuclear conflict but only faith understands the problem, offering redemption and spiritual renewal.
