About this episode
In this episode, we confront a popular myth: that modern Western civilization is rooted in Christianity. Drawing on Muhammad Asad’s piercing critique, we uncover the true intellectual ancestry of the West - not in the Gospels, but in the utilitarian and anti-transcendental legacy of Rome. Far from being Christian in essence, Western modernity emerged through a bitter revolt against the Church, sparked and sustained by the civilizational light of Islam. It was not Christian Europe, but Islamic cities like Cordoba and Baghdad, that ignited the West’s so-called “Renaissance.” This is the story of a civilization reborn - not by its faith, but by the faith it once fought.
