Christentum und europäische Kultur

Ideas about the influence of Christianity on European culture and science today are often one-sided. This volume offers an introduction to the scholarly study of the history of Christianity's impact. It shows which theological interpretations of the Christian faith have inspired artists, architects and musicians in their works and influenced their design. Law, natural science and philosophy also owe inspiration to Christianity, which is important in order to grasp the development of these disciplines in depth and not to see everything only from today's perspective. In this way, the volume also aims to counteract a hasty, uninformed cultural discontinuation.
