Scepticism in Western Christianity [videorecording] / Gillian Bancroft and Sian Salt, producers and directors.
Material type:
TextSeries: Christian historyPublisher: [S.l] : BBC, c1996Description: 1videodisc (58.54 min.)Subject(s): ChristianitySummary: Diarmaid MacCulloch own life story makes him a symbol of a distinctive feature about Western Christianity - scepticism, a tendency to doubt which has transformed Western culture and transformed Christianity. In the last programme in the series he asks where that change came from? He challenges the simplistic notion that faith in Christianity has steadily ebbed away before the relentless advance of science, reason and progress and shows instead how the tide of faith perversely flows back in. Despite the attack of Newton, Voltaire, the French Revolutionaries and Darwin, Christianity has shown a remarkable resilience. The greatest damage to Christianity in fact was inflicted to its moral credibility by the two great wars of the 20th century and by its entanglement with Fasicm and Nazism. And yet it is in crisis that the Church has rediscovered deep and enduring truths about itself. And that may even be a clue to its future.
