Tom Holland has pointed out, in a way that has gained quite a bit of social traction, that the West's sense of value, of what is good and bad, right and wrong, is inextinguishably Christian.
Wow. I've heard lots of sermons on worldliness, but this hit me in a new way. I just listened to a few podcasts on narcissism. (Some colleagues and I have suffered under a narcissistic boss for a decade. She's gone now, but boy the gaslighting really got to me). Then - ironically - I may have slipped up in some other 'ego' moments myself this week.
Then you write this mix of anthropology, psychology, culture, and gospel theology in a way that got under my skin and challenged me to look at myself and my relationships in a new light. I've saved this and may have to read it again soon. Cheers!
