From the calendar to the history of art and architecture, from the magic of church music to the organization of education and statehood - Europe as a cultural whole would not be conceivable without its Christian character. Epochal figures such as Augustine, Meister Eckhart or Friedrich Schleiermacher have repeatedly set spiritual and spiritual standards out of Christian conviction.
How could a monotheistic belief in redemption from the Middle East spread in the middle of the ancient world of gods and finally rise to the state cult of the Roman Empire? Despite all the distortions, heretical struggles and denominational divisions, has Christianity been able to keep the core of its message of salvation? One thing is certain: regardless of personal confessions, the religion of the cross is a key factor in occidental identity.
SPIEGEL editor Dr. Dr discusses the origins, ways and ways of Christianity Eva-Maria Schnurr with Prof. Dr. Volker Leppin, who teaches church history in Tübingen.
This podcast episode was recorded in December 2017 as part of the "SPIEGEL Live" event series at the Hamburg Bucerius Art Forum.
