Description
Western civilization is the unique product of an astonishing synthesis of faith and reason. The roots of Western order can be traced back to three historical cities: Jerusalem, Athens, and Rome. Each of these cites in its time of maximum flourishing was the scene of tremendous spiritual and intellectual outbursts that transformed the world of its day, and which continue to shape the Western mind in modern times. Indeed, their lasting influence is unparalleled in human history, giving rise to the magnificent achievements of systematic science, of advanced modern technology; of the flourishing of the arts and literature, of philosophy, cosmology, and theology, of political theory; and of widespread economic prosperity. This book presents a wide-ranging survey of contemporary developments in the fields of science, philosophy, and culture, offering a critique from the classical/Christian perspective.
