The Air We Breathe: How We All Came to Believe in Freedom, Kindness, Progress, and Equality (Discover the Christian roots of the values we prize in western society) Paperback – June 1, 2022

This book is accessible, understandable and insightful. It helped me clearly see how Christian values have positively impacted history. I think it is a must read for young person.

I have read many books on apologetics and how best to engage the culture. I have read and, in some cases, reread classic works by Augustine, Pascal, Chesterton, and Lewis. Contemporary folks like Keller, both of the two big books by Charles Taylor, Sire, Guinness, Schaeffer, Pearcey, and Moreland have been very helpful. You get the picture. All these have been terrific, but the book that now tops my list is Glen Scrivener’s book, The Air We Breathe.In relatively short compass Scrivener winsomely, wisely, and wonderfully showcases that we do as Flannery O’Connor said, live in a Christ-haunted world. (She said a Christ-haunted south, but I am expanding on her words.)If you are looking for a well-written and compelling resource that makes it crystal clear that many of the things we love and take for granted like freedom are a result of Christianity, then this book is for you. If you are not looking for a resource like this, you should be!

Exceptionally thought provoking. Very informative, readable and current. I have given away several and recommended to others that if they read just one chapter and consider it worthless and don’t read a second, I will refund them. I can’t offer that over Amazon, but everyone so far who has read one chapter has gone on to read more.

Good book

This is a must read to understand the role Christianity has played in shaping the world for the better.

Everything good and beautiful we take for granted and self evident? Equality, compassion, consent, progress. Actually these are not self evident, they are a product of the Christian revolution that began two thousand years ago. If you enjoy Tom Holland and Justin Brierley you will enjoy this book. I enjoyed every page!

Love the history that we take for granted and never learned in school. A great reminder that Christ touches every aspect of this world and our lives, regardless of our acknowledgement.
