TPW 10 What is Secularism? Part 1

On this episode of The Protestant Witness, we look at the issue of "secularism" as a worldview. It is often said that America is such a "secular" nation now. It did not begin this way, but something happened that has spread this worldview far and wide. We are all influenced by it and live in the midst of it. How can Christians meet secularism with the gospel? My hope is that this episode will help address this question. The book referred to is Bruce Shelley's "Church History in Plain Language." The chapter that deals with the Enlightenment and its secularization of so much of the Western world is called "Aiming at the Foundations." Christians need to understand this movement and how much it has affected the world they live in today.
