In the Second Century, Tertullian was famous for asking “What does Athens have to do with Jerusalem?” In this quote, Athens represents human philosophy and wisdom, while Jerusalem symbolizes divinely revealed truth. Tertullian’s distinction highlights the tension between secular knowledge and biblical truth. In this video, Sir Paul Marshall (British) wonders if we now have “too much Athens and not enough Jerusalem,” insightfully explaining the long march of cultural deconstruction, the crisis of meaning facing our culture, and why rebuilding our civilization will require a return to truth, virtue and a positive vision of the future. The video is essential for anyone seeking to understand what is now happening to our culture and how we got here. Brilliant and timely exposition.
