Big Change And Big Failure In Church History

Loading player...

In Episode 10 of the Big Change series, Jonathan Wilson and Andy Crouch debate the controversial topic of the historical impact of church and missions. Pointing out that pride mixed with a proximity to power almost inevitably leads to destructive outcomes, they candidly acknowledge that sometimes the church justly deserves scorn for its bad behaviour. They also shed light on ground-breaking, secular Sociology studies that demonstrate the value of Christianity as a foundation for stable modern democracies. Definitely a must-listen-to episode!
