Description

In this provocative book one of the brilliant scholars of religion nowadays dismantles distorted religious “histories” offered up by Christopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins, and other up to date critics of religion and advocates of atheism. David Bentley Hart provides a bold correction of the New Atheists’s misrepresentations of the Christian past, countering their polemics with a brilliant account of Christianity and its message of human charity as probably the most revolutionary movement in all of Western history.

Hart outlines how Christianity transformed the ancient world in ways we could have forgotten: bringing liberation from fatalism, conferring great dignity on human beings, subverting the cruelest aspects of pagan society, and elevating charity above all virtues. He then argues that what we term the “Age of Reason” used to be in truth the beginning of the eclipse of reason’s authority as a cultural value. Hart closes the book within the present, delineating the ominous consequences of the decline of Christendom in a culture that may be built upon its moral and religious values.
