  • Description

    In The Victory of Reason, Rodney Stark advances a revolutionary, controversial, and long overdue idea: that Christianity and its related institutions are, in fact, directly responsible for the most significant intellectual, political, scientific, and economic breakthroughs of the past millennium. Christian theology, Stark asserts, is the very font of reason: While the world?s other great belief systems emphasized mystery, obedience, or introspection, Christianity alone embraced logic and reason as the path toward enlightenment, freedom, and progress. The Victory of Reason proves that what we most admire about our world?scientific progress, democratic rule, free commerce?is largely due to Christianity, through which we are all inheritors of this grand tradition.
