In this historical overview of Western civilization, Dr. Rogers traces the theological and philosophical forces that shaped Western culture. From the beginnings of Judaism 4,000 years ago to the Greeks 2,500 years ago, to Christianity's confrontation with and transformation of the Roman Empire, through the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, the establishment of America, and the emergence of the postmodern perspective, it has been the dynamic tension between the Judeo-Christian tradition, Classical Philosophy, and the philosophical perspectives that emerged from it, that has shaped the American worldview, making us who we are.
