The Heritage of Knowledge of Christ

Lord, to whom can we go? You have words of eternal life.

John 6:68

Knowledge of Christ in the modern world mainly came through the massive system of moral values, practices, and understandings that he bequeathed to human history through his teachings and his people. This moral heritage took the form not only of precepts and principles, but of images and stories elaborated in art, philosophical thought, and social and governmental institutions as well as in familiar bits of common language and wise sayings.

His answers to the worldview questions of who is well-off, who is a good person, and how to become a good person were of unequaled power. They have been the socially and institutionally dominant ones in the Western world. They compare favorably, at the very least, to serious and systematic answers to those questions from other sources through the ages. They have stood up well under the most intensive theoretical scrutiny, but they have done even better as a guide to living admirably—even heroically—in the circumstances of ordinary life for ordinary people.
