Stop Eliminating Christianity from History - Ep 11 - Therapeutic Theology Series

It's been impressive to see the various attempts to re-write history so it fits into a politically correct vision of reality. The New York Times 1619 Project comes to mind, the removal of statues and monuments to take out those associated with slavery or colonialism, the re-evaluation of historic personalities based on a modern view - these are all in full vigor.
And criticizable -- although not politically correctness makes them closed to much critique.
We must be careful with all of these. Our fears of winding up on the wrong side of history can lead us to slant things too far in the other direction, thereby skewing our view of history too much. After all, if we're going to expect the figures from history to be saints and totally politically correct on every social issue, we're going to find slim pickings for historical heroes.
And we need to be really careful in our evaluation of Christianity. I know lamentable things have been carried out in the name of God -- and continue to be carried out today -- but we must see what is likewise true: the values and teachings of Christ continue to form the basis of the most advanced societies on our planet.
And at this Christmas time of the year, it is important to remember that. Stop Eliminating Christianity from History, today on our Therapeutic Therapy series.
