How Christianity Changed History

Like fish unable to see the water they swim in, we're blind to Christianity's total transformation of Western society. Even our most "original" philosophies only make sense within Christian frameworks.

Christianity asks the least of societies yet paradoxically transforms them more profoundly than any other religion.
