Description

How did Christianity come to shape Western culture? History is often told as the story of great men and events. But did Christianity come to shape Western culture simply as a “great idea” that carried the day?In this episode, Glen Scrivener and Andrew Wilson explore the role of geography, technology, and coincidence in the spread of Christianity, which has fundamentally shaped our assumptions about the world. Geography, geology, ecology, and economics are not the topics you would usually consider in a Christian podcast, but Glen and Andrew observe how those factors—along with the fundamental goodness of the gospel—combine to create an environment in which the worldview of the West was formed.Post-Christianity? is a podcast from The Gospel Coalition and The Keller Center for Cultural Apologetics.

Where does the “post-Christianity” of the twenty-first-century West actually come from? How does this story help us understand the rapid cultural developments we have seen in recent years? And what might evangelism, mission, and discipleship look like in light of it? Andrew Wilson and Glen Scrivener consider our Western, post-Christian culture, discussing how we got here, what it means, and how to respond through topics ranging from sexuality, psychology, and economics to identity, theology, hospitality, and art. Post-Christianity? is a podcast from The Gospel Coalition and The Keller Center for Cultural Apologetics.
