About this Quote

This quote by Christopher Dawson talks to the distinct value of Christianity in comparison to other fantastic asian religious beliefs. He suggests that Christianity supplies a new worth to humanity, history, and life that is not found in other religious beliefs. This value is rooted in the necessary Christian teaching, which is the belief in the divinity of Jesus Christ and the redemption of mankind through his death and resurrection. This doctrine provides a sense of purpose and implying to human life, as it suggests that human beings are produced in the image of God and have the prospective to be conserved from sin and death. It likewise supplies a structure for understanding human history, as it recommends that God is actively involved in the events of the world and is ultimately in control. Finally, it provides a sense of self-respect and worth to human nature, as it recommends that humans are made in the image of God and have the prospective to be redeemed.
