This lecture by Philip Jenkins, featured on last week's Beeson Divinity School podcast, does precisely what good history is supposed to do: it offers a radically different way of seeing the world simply by pointing out what has always been on record. He gives a brief summary of the influence of Christian patriarchs in China and the ancient Near East, and points out ways in which Christianity influenced the emergence of both Buddhist and Muslim Scriptures. An eye-opening thirty-seven minutes which offer a number of avenues for further study and reflection.
