He also considers the role of religion in shaping these civilizations and the ways in which pre-Christian societies approached questions of morality and ethics.In the second lecture, Church turns his attention to the impact of Christianity on civilization. He discusses how the teachings of Jesus Christ and the spread of Christianity throughout Europe and beyond transformed the social, political, and cultural landscape of the world. Church argues that Christianity played a crucial role in the development of Western civilization, influencing everything from art and literature to law and government.Throughout the book, Church draws on a range of historical and philosophical sources to support his arguments.
