Episode description

In this episode Pastor Raef looks at the idea that the evidence of Christianity is written in human history. Many of the norms and standards of the modern world we live in have been gifted to us from Christians. No other worldview was able to develop systems like: hospitals, education, liberty and justice for all, women's rights, abolition of slavery, protection for infants, largescale charity, economic freedom, and more. Why was Christianity able to accomplish so much. Was it accidental? No, these ideas and many more are fruit of the Christian worldview. The soil of no other worldview is capable of producing these fruits.
