Description

Many people today would say that Christianity has done more harm than good to our world. Sharon James argues, however, in seeking to love their neighbour and reflect God’s moral character the followers of Jesus have had a largely positive impact on our society. James takes a number of areas – education, healthcare, justice, human dignity – and traces the ways in which these benefits have spread with the gospel.

Freedom
Religious Liberty
Justice
Protecting Life
The Dignity of Women
Philanthropy
Healthcare
Education for All
The Creation Mandate and the Value of Work

Endorsements

This brilliant little book … beautifully demonstrates the way that all that we treasure in Western civilisation – such as human rights, equality under the law, democratic government, science, healthcare, education and literature – has its roots in a Christian worldview which values human beings as special creations made in the image of God who are called by God to demonstrate His justice, creativity and character.

Peter Saunders , Chief Executive, International Christian Medical and Dental Association (ICMDA)

This book is a splendid tonic for anyone who has become jaded by the anti–Christian bias which is so common today. Sharon James has given us an excellent introduction to the history of how the church and individual Christians have ‘gone about doing good’ over twenty centuries.

Endorsements

In this brilliant book, Sharon James reclaims the ground and shows that nothing has done more for education, health, justice, the sanctity of life and dignity of women than this great Faith. A must–read ‘for such as time as this’.

Alun Ebenezer, Headmaster, Fulham Boys School

… if you’ve been influenced to believe that the Christian gospel is a virulent intellectual infection that should be eradicated, that it robs people of joy and freedom, that it oppresses women and makes its heavenly–minded adherents of little earthly good, then you very much need to read this book.

Jon Bloom, President, Desiring God, Minneapolis, Minnesota
