Brock (co-author of Saving Paradise: How Christianity Traded Love of This World for Crucifixion and Empire) offered a new lens on the history of Christianity, from its first centuries to the present day, asking how its early vision of beauty evolved into a vision of torture, and what changes in society and theology marked that evolution.
Through art, liturgy, biblical texts, theology, and poetry, Dr. Brock explored a this-worldly, life-affirming, earth-based faith that dominated Christianity’s first millennium and explain how that faith was compromised by holy war and the worship of crucifixion in Europe beginning in the second millennium.
