Whether we’re aware of it or not, many of our culture’s most celebrated, seemingly self-evident assumptions can be traced back to beliefs and ethics derived from Christianity.
In The Secular Creed, Rebecca McLaughlin shows how the last 2,000 years of church history have shaped today’s moral framework. Today’s “secular creed,” it turns out, was handed down to us by Christianity. In this book, McLaughlin skillfully disentangles the beliefs Christians gladly affirm from those they cannot embrace and invites us to talk with our neighbors about the things that matter most.
