This powerful thematic essay by eminent scholar H.J. Blackham follows the course of Western history into the post-religious present in terms of cultural inheritance and legacy. Pagan Greece, Yahweh's Judea, and Christian Rome symbolize three major movements in Western history. From the Renaissance through the Enlightenment and on into the modern industrial period, the West has taken shape in often tumultuous ways. As science, politics, and economics grew and developed, the secular would interweave and clash with, and soon break away from established sectarian views.
