About The Christian Heritage

Statement of Purpose

Our knowledge of history and present is largely determined by what we are taught in school, told by friends or parents, read in books or learn watching TV. Widespread opinions of the everybody-knows variety are never questioned because it does not seem worth while, after all, everbody knows..., right?
Yet all too often, the real world is radically different from what we use to think it is. For example most people consider religion generally a source of good. Throughout history sundry religions have come and gone. The gods worshiped range from Molech, Baal, Odin, Jupiter, Zeus, Ahura Mazda, Jehovah, and Allah in the Ancient World and Europe to Manitou, Quetzalcoatl, Coatlicue, Vishna, and many others in other parts of the world.
Most of these religions did little to improve the conditions of living for human beings and the welfare of society. Instead, many have lead - directly or indirectly - to an incredible amount of bloodshed, human sacrifice, fighting, humiliation, and misery.
Although most people - having little or no historical knowledge - would think differently, this is especially true of the history of the Church and Christianity, and includes their present influence on society and human life.
The purpose of the Website The Christian Heritage is to fill this gap.
