A Deep Consideration of the Judeo-Christian Tradition and its Influence on Western Civilization...
Discover the spiritual paradigm that defined modern Western Civilization and influenced the world more than any other single factor in recorded history. How did the Judeo-Christian tradition lead to the manifestation of a new worldwide Western religion, foster the Age of Reason and the birth of the United States of America, and establish the academic foundation for modern science?
From the Publisher of the Free Weekly Substack "How Things Work!"
"This unique Substack by FRANK ELKINS is not strictly speaking history. It is a strange mix of history, philosophy, theology, spirituality, physics, and astronomy… It reminds you of those times when physics, like Blaise Pascal, did not only define physical laws and run experiments but wrote poetry and philosophy as well. I miss those times. And I miss the lively discussion these guys created, because today scientists like to divide our world into subjects, and these subjects into niches. Yet, the world we live in is just one, and we strive to comprehend it as it is. Try this... for a start."
– Barbora, the Rebel Historian
