Women were used as property; unwanted children were left on the streets to die.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFour centuries later, even ordinary men and women prospered in what had become a vigorous new Christian society - a society that served the vulnerable, exalted women, treasured virtue, and loved peace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFaith had triumphed. Truth was proclaimed. And on this rock-solid foundation, Christian society flourished in the West for the next 1500 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese eye-opening pages document the many ways in which Christians penetrated and civilized that debased Roman empire, introducing then-radical notions such as the equal dignity of women, respect for life, protection of the weak and vulnerable, and the obligation of rulers to serve those they rule and maximize their freedom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere you'll learn about the seven specific areas where any paganism, ancient or modern, is particularly vulnerable. They provide a roadmap for modern Christians to reclaim for the Faith our own neo-pagan modern culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFacing an overwhelmingly dark and hostile culture, Rome's early Christians took the steps necessary to transform it. Their struggles and the hard lessons they learned - documented here - afford us hope that, by imitating their example, we may do the same for our culture today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eHow Christianity Saved Civilization\u003c\/i\u003e was previously published as\u003ci\u003e Seven Revolutions: How Christianity Changed the World and Can Change It Again\u003c\/i\u003e.
