We are perhaps familiar with claims from that “religion poisons everything” and that religion is the “root of all evil.” But not all religions are created equal, and the Christian faith, when consistently lived out, has actually been instrumental in transforming communities, cultures, and even Western civilization.

The Impact of the Gospel in History:

Exploring how Christianity has transformed communities and shaped cultures

We are perhaps familiar with claims that "religion poisons everything" and that religion is the "root of all evil." But not all religions are created equal, and the Christian faith, when consistently lived out, has actually been instrumental in transforming communities, cultures, and even Western civilization. Thanks to the Christian faith, democracy, human rights, modern science, public literacy, hospitals/hospice care, moral reforms, the eradication of colonialism, and additional democratizing gains. Even non-theistic scholars concur. We'll discuss this and much more as we look in more detail at Jesus-shaped cultures.

Time: 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
