This usefully summarises some of his previous books and others which he considers significant but which most of us will never get round to reading. Particularly worth learning about is a book called Capital by Piketty suggesting that we are heading back to a society where inherited wealth counts for more than personal effort and talent. Spencer also usefully summarises what he had to say about the origin of atheism and the development of Darwin's thought. In all the areas covered, the influence of Christianity is significant, often positive but always complex. ( ) inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
What has Christianity ever done for us? A lot more than you might think, as Nick Spencer reveals in this fresh exploration of our cultural origins. Looking at the big ideas that characterize the West, such as human dignity, the rule of law, human rights, science, and even, paradoxically, atheism and secularism,he traces the varied ways in which many of our present values grew up and flourished in distinctively Christian soil. Always alert to the tensions and mess of history, and careful not to overstate or misstate the Christian role in shaping our present values, Spencer shows us how a better awareness of what we owe to Christianity can help us as we face new cultural challenges.
