Andrew Wilson, author of 'Remaking the World', a book that offers a fresh perspective on the year 1776, outlines how this pivotal moment in history shaped the modern post-Christian West. While this year is chiefly remembered for the creation of America, Wilson speaks about the various critical moments and cultural shifts that occurred that year, ultimately shaping our present world. We discuss various topics, such as the impact of industrialization, romanticism, and enlightenment ideals, the evolving role of the church in society, and the importance of understanding history in the contemporary societal context.
