Notable Quote

"Modernity does not simply challenge religion from outside. It has grown, in large part, from within the religious tradition it now contests. The secularization of the West is not an escape from its Christian heritage but a transformation of it — one that has forgotten its own sources."

— Brague, Rémi event 2018
