What happens to Western civilisation when it rejects its Christian and Jewish foundations? This a great video from Greg Sheridan.
In this wide-ranging conversation at the Institute of Public Affairs, Greg Sheridan joins John Roskam to discuss his book How Christians Can Succeed Today: Reclaiming the Genius of the Early Church. This is the third book in a trilogy on the Christian faith: 1. God is Good For You, 2. Christians: The Urgent Case for Jesus in Our World, 3. How Christians Can Succeed Today: Reclaiming the Genius of the Early Church. Greg did not realise it but the trilogy covers the Trinity – 1. God the Father, 2. Jesus and 3. The Holy Spirit.

Sheridan argues that the early Christians faced a far more hostile culture than Christians in the modern West, yet transformed that culture through courage, clarity, conviction, and faith. “You will never lose if you never give up.”

He explores what their example means today for Christians, conservatives, and anyone concerned about the future of Western civilisation.

The discussion covers:

• Why Sheridan believes “everything good in Western civilisation” comes from the Christian and Jewish tradition
• What the early church can teach modern Christians
• Why the West has become increasingly hostile to Christianity
• The rise of a new paganism in modern culture
• Signs of Christian revival among younger generations
• Whether Australia is still a Christian country
• Why Sheridan takes a measured view of Donald Trump

This is a conversation about faith, culture, civilisation, and whether renewal is still possible. Greg is a great communicator. You will enjoy and benefit from the information he shares.
