Most Europeans do not realise to what extent the world in which they live is shaped by the Bible and Christianity.
This book looks at the origins of hospitals, universities, music, social welfare, human rights, the religiously neutral state, liberal democracy, humanism, modern science, and many more.
The Christian faith created a common cultural space for the peoples of Europe but also determined national identities.
It inspired the founders of the European integration after World War I.
