Would it matter if Christianity were eclipsed? In conversation with Rupert Shortt

Strange things are happening to Christianity in the West. Some people are talking about revival whereas others are talking about extinction. Whoever is right, the ramifications for our culture will be immense.

What is happening? If we are entering a period of eclipse for Christianity, would it matter? Would it simply be strike us through the loss of beautiful buildings and moving music? Or is there something more substantial in all this?

This week Nick Spencer talks with Rupert Shortt about his book ‘The Eclipse of Christianity and why it matters’
