Six ideas most people consider true. How often have we heard the story, for example, of Galileo, armed merely with a telescope and reason, doing battle with a superstitious church only to be condemned as a heretic and harshly imprisoned? Even though most of the "facts" we commonly assume to be true about this story are just not so, the romanticized myth boldly marches forward.
In this often startling book, Philip Sampson dispels this myth and five others--that the rise of Christianity led to ecological crisis, that missionaries have oppressed native peoples, that Darwin's evolutionary ideas were embraced by scientists but vilified by religious leaders, that the church was responsible for persecution of witches, and that Christianity teaches the repression of bodily pleasures--all woven nearly inextricably into the fabric of Christianity and Western civilization. To do so he tells new and fascinating stories, rich in historical detail and surprising turns. The result is a historical tapestry that unsettles conventional wisdom and provides an enlightening look at the complexities of truth. keyword: Christianity's contribution to civilization
