This book examines the enduring influence of religious ideas in the cultural and intellectual formation of the West. The author draws upon a wide range of historical sources, spanning the medieval period to the present day, to explore the profound and multifaceted role of religion in shaping Western thought and societal structures. The book challenges narrow conceptions of secularization, arguing that religious ideas continue to exert a powerful, if often subtle, influence on our understanding of the world and our place within it. Through a rich tapestry of examples from literature, philosophy, art, and politics, the author demonstrates how religious narratives, symbols, and practices have left an enduring mark on Western culture. This thought-provoking work offers a fresh perspective on the relationship between religion and the West, inviting readers to reconsider the depth and complexity of religious influence throughout history.
