‘How the West Made the World’ by Josephine Quinn

Jan 17, 2025 | thegospelcoalition.org | Andrew Wilson

Big history is fashionable again. Authors, publishers, and readers agree that large-scale, sweeping world histories, as ambitious and unwieldy as they might seem, can be engaging and serious, stimulating and fun to read. Pitfalls abound; the sheer amount of material is a daunting challenge for any researcher or writer, let alone editor. But if you get it right, you can win prizes, tour the television and podcast studios, and maybe even sell 25 million copies.
The Negative World is the Internet

Jun 17, 2024 | thinktheology.co.uk | Andrew Wilson

There is one huge missing piece in Renn’s account, its absence both glaring and baffling. While he rightly mentions the importance of digitization, which concentrates great power in a few online companies, he simply does not adequately wrestle with the impact of the Internet. Without considering the Internet, I do not believe that much of what Renn terms ‘negative world’ will truly make sense.
The Pursuit of (Which) Happiness?

Jun 10, 2024 | thegospelcoalition.org | Andrew Wilson

One reason we struggle to find happiness is that we aren’t sure what it is. Imagine two individuals on a summer’s evening. The first is sitting in the garden, trying to finish a crossword before the sun sets, deep in thought with the grandchildren playing on the patio behind her. The second has just jumped out of a plane and is plummeting toward the earth at terminal velocity, marveling at the views beneath him and shrieking with delight. Which person seems happier to you?
The Most Significant Edit to the Declaration of Independence

May 22, 2024 | theaquilareport.com | Andrew Wilson

It doesn’t follow that if you evolved from nothing, from goo, through apes, or whatever you believe about evolution, that doesn’t lead to the conclusion that human beings have rights and must be protected and have dignity and that you should make sure you protect children or women or minorities. Those just don’t follow from the evolutionary premise. Those things follow from Christian assumptions about the God-givenness of human dignity and being made in God’s image.
Why Identity Politics Flourishes in Late Modern Society

May 21, 2024 | thinktheology.co.uk | Andrew Wilson

By Andrew Wilson | Monday 20 May 2024 "Identity groups are, in effect, compensatory," explains James Davison Hunter in his fascinating (if somewhat depressing) book Democracy and Solidarity.
The Most Significant Edit to the Declaration of Independence

May 14, 2024 | crossway.org | Andrew Wilson

Self-Evident TruthsThomas Jefferson writes to Franklin a couple of weeks before the Declaration is going to be ratified and says, “Here’s my draft. Have you got any changes?”And Franklin reads Jefferson’s draft which says, “We hold these truths to be sacred and undeniable,” and he crosses out “sacred and undeniable” and replaces it with “self-evident.” And that’s the edit, and I think it’s a wonderful metaphor or parable for the post-Christian West.
The Early Church Did Not Have an All-Male Leadership

Apr 10, 2024 | thinktheology.co.uk | Andrew Wilson

In order to understand the full significance of the position of deaconess in the early Christian community, one must understand how it relates to the positions of deacon and elder. First, the deaconess was a female deacon. As the Didascalia Apostolorum states, the deaconess, like the deacon, is chosen to work under the bishop as a helper. They are both servants of the community and serve as extensions of the bishop, acting under his direction ...

Understanding the Post-Christian West Andrew Wilson, pastor at King's Church, London, joins the podcast to discuss his recent book Remaking the World: How 1776 Created the Post-Christian West. In this book, Wilson argues that 1776 is a pivotal year for the WEIRDER (contemporary Western) world. But this is something which we often forget, and that forgetfulness has consequences.
