  Argues that, whether we like it or not, people acting for the glory of God have formed our modern culture. This book shows that the Christian conception of God resulted - almost inevitably and for the same reasons - in the Protestant Reformation, the rise of modern science, the European witch-hunts, and the Western abolition of slavery.
