Recognizing the Christian Roots of Modern Values

The increasing anxiety and depression among young people can be linked to a cultural crisis, specifically a loss of meaning and values. Notably, many of the principles that society holds dear—such as equality, dignity, human rights, and freedom—are derived from a historical Christian framework, as highlighted by intellectuals like Tom Holland. He illustrates that the Western value system originates from the Christian narrative, contrasting sharply with the ideals of ancient Roman and Greek cultures. This realization points to a potential revival of the Christian story as society grapples with contemporary challenges.
