In geographical terms, Europe is a peninsula of Asia. We think of it as a separate continent only because of its unique cultural and religious heritage. This distinctive space has been created, in large part, through the outworking of the Christian story.
Today, Europe’s Christian heritage is eroding rapidly. There is plenty of religion, secularism and paganism, but far too little of the Gospel of grace.
