Book Speaker @ http://www.freedomproject.com/ In opposition to our progressive age that desperately seeks to rewrite and eliminate from history books every reference to our enduring Christian heritage—from the faith of our founders to the prominent role of church culture in every aspect of contemporary life—this talk provides a much-needed reminder of the incalculable influence of Christian ideas on the art, music, philosophy, law, and politics of the last two-thousand years. Reversing the current vogue of ingratitude and revisionism that casts Christian culture as repressive and bigoted, Dr. Pesta highlights the innovation, humanity, and civilizing influence of Christianity—its profound and sweeping contributions to human and civil rights—so overlooked and maligned by the a-historical culture warriors on the left. From the rich depths of Dante’s poetry to the Spirit-inspired music of Bach, and from the taming of the Roman Empire to the triumph of the abolitionists, no force on earth has contributed more to our security, our prosperity, and our way of life.
