Listen in as the Harderwyk pastors discuss John Dickson’s book, Bullies and Saints: An Honest Look at that Good and Evil of Christian History.

Dickson surveys the high and low points of church history to counter the oversimplistic claims that religion is an evil force in the world. His engagement with the historical documents is illuminating and his brutally honest appraisals illuminate how culture was both harmed and enhanced by individuals in the name of Christ.

Our conversation includes reflections on some of the low and high points recounted in the book, what we appreciate about his approach to this subject, and how wrestling with the low and high points in Christian history can inform our Christ-following.
