Paul Kingsnorth, a notable speaker at the upcoming First Things Erasmus Lecture, challenges the foundations of Christian civilization. He discusses the intricate dance between faith and modern ideological identities, while also reflecting on historical traumas and resilience, particularly among Native Americans. Kingsnorth humorously shares his pre-lecture jitters and personal anecdotes. Delving into the cultural collapse of Western civilization, he critiques the waning influence of Christianity, urging a deeper understanding of its complexities amid contemporary moral dilemmas.
