Foundations of the West: Season 0, Episode 3

0 - 3: Dinner in Bethlehem & Diagnosing the West

Dinner in Bethlehem has special significance to the West’s present society, as the Palestinian city is a foundation for our shared civilization. Pageau and Peterson address the competing worldviews that persist from a joined past to today and the realistic danger of a potential collapse. Neglecting the past will not serve a society, as history itself has proven true, and society has a responsibility to shared values. Pageau and Peterson discuss ways to cultivate and uphold society in the way it should be structured and how suffering and sacrifice can be understood alongside the reality of death — and the meaningfulness of resurrection — with Christ at the center of Western civilization.
