Synopsis
David Bentley Hart challenges the popular critiques of religion by figures like Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins. He argues that contemporary anti-religious polemics often rely on historical ignorance and conceptual confusions. Hart re-examines how Christianity profoundly shaped the ancient world, bringing liberation from fatalism and elevating human dignity and charity. He then explores the consequences of Christendom's decline in modern culture.
