With liberal values on the back foot, it’s time to look at the roots of the worldview we have taken for granted. 

Nick Spencer and Theo Hobson have both recently written books about Christianity’s influence on Western values, and the secular ideals of human rights and social justice. In different ways, they both call for a fresh understanding of the relationship of Christianity and secular humanism.
