Where Do Our Western Values Come From? Part 8 In recent decades in the western world we’ve seen a retreat away from Christian beliefs. But what if the prized values of ‘the west’ could be shown to be fundamentally Christian values? What if the western world has retreated away from Christian beliefs, but without leaving behind its Christian values?

Drawing on the writings of Tom Holland and Glen Scrivener, in this short book Brian shows that this is indeed the case.
