Can Christianity Still Rebuild the World? | Jonathan Pageau
Manage episode 514941511 series 3690545
What if the collapse of Western civilisation isn’t political—but spiritual? Artist and theologian Jonathan Pageau joins James Orr to trace our unraveling to the loss of sacred order. From ancient hierarchies to modern chaos, they explore symbolism, the breakdown of the family, and the war on meaning. Can recovering the 'Great Chain of Being' help restore sanity to our politics, our culture, and our souls?
