( This is the first of four volumes on extraordinary fool...)
This is the first of four volumes on extraordinary fools whose follies influenced the course of all our lives. Without them, history would have been different, and our lives would today be lived along patterns beyond our powers to imagine. James I and VI was a great fool. He threw away a tremendous inheritance and a superb opportunity for the basest of motives, while indulging himself in the comforts of the sewer. While bemusing his subjects with windy references to peace, he led them impotent disarmament before a crumbling Spain. Finally, he trained his doltish heir into a pattern of "kingly" behavior that provoked a civil war. Beyond that, James was a fool in the Biblical sense, in believing that "there is no God." He called himself The Prince of Peace, and dreamed of sitting down with the Pope to rule the minds of all mankind. He spoke of his "Divine Right" in a transparent effort to ward away the fate of his mother, and finally, he sought the power of God over other men.

A powerfully concatenated argument based on theological and historical considerations, The Great Christian Revolution effectively echoes St. Paul's challenge: "Where is the disputer of the present age?'

A major work on the impact of Reformed thinking on our civilization. Some of the studies, historical and theological, break new ground and provide perspectives previously unknown or neglected. "Is the LORD's hand waxed short?" Many Christians today believe it has. Whenever the church sounds a trumpet this uncertain for the King of Kings, civil rulers have drawn the same conclusion – and acted upon it. This volume documents the critical relationship between faulty theologies and the nations staked their destiny on the myths so engendered. Like the prodigal son, modern Christianity is hunger-bitten, consuming mere husks, worshipping the semi-mighty god of Arminianism. When God’s people return to the Almighty God of Scripture, the trampling underfoot of Satan will be inevitable.

Scott, Otto was born on May 26, 1918 in New York City. Son of Otto Felix and Katherine (McGivney) Scott.
Master of Arts in Political Science, Valley Christian University, Fresno, California, 1985.
Constantly troubled in his youth, he was unable to complete high school, yet with his initiative he was able to get work as a reporter for a newspaper in Fort Eustis, Virginia when he was 16 years old. He then worked for United Features Syndicate and the San Diego Union. After the war, Scott worked in the advertising industry, then became editor of a manufacturing trade journal, Rubber World.
In the course of his assignments, he interviewed Paul Blazer, the chairman of Ashland Oil, in Ashland, Kentucky, and was invited to write the history of the company.
"He changed my life because he gave me a new trade," Scott says of the company chairman. "I didn"t know I could write a book" From this beginning he worked on books in his later years detailing the corporate histories of Raytheon, Black & Decker and Architecture Mineral Corporation.
Not a regular churchgoer by any stretch of the imagination, Otto said in an interview for Insight Magazine that he read the Four Gospels in one night and was converted shortly thereafter. In his later years, he worked for Chalcedon Foundation and went on to publish his own newsletter The Compass which commented on events in history and present-day cultural affairs
After suffering a fall in 2004 at his home near Portsmouth, New Hampshire, Otto returned to Federal Way, Washington to spend the last years of his life.
He died in Issaquah, Washington on May 5, 2006. According to scholars Edward Sebesta and Euan Hague, however, Scott"s contributions as a historian and activist were closely linked to Neo-Confederate Christian activists, and his ideological opposition to the historic abolitionist, civil rights, and anti-apartheid movements is a matter of record. Scott"s hostility toward the abolitionist John Brown is particularly evident in his work, The Secret Six: John Brown and the Abolition Movement.
While Scott was clearly a capable scholar, this work shows no primary research and a naked dependence upon the earlier anti-Brown biography by James C. Malin, a work that has long been discredited by Brown scholars.
Otto Scott is credited for inventing the phrase, made popular by President Richard Nixon, "the silent majority". Otto Scott wrote a speech for the Chief Executive Officer of Ashland Oil, "The Silent Majority", delivered to the Chicago Men"s Club (May 23, 1968).
