What has Christianity truly contributed to humanity
RE: What has Christianity truly contributed to humanity

I recommend 2 Great Books (1) How Christianity changed the world by Prof Alvin Schmidt
(2) How the Catholic Church built Western Civilization by Professor Thomas Woods.

https://www.amazon.in/Christianity-Chang...0310264499
https://www.amazon.in/Catholic-Church-Bu...1596983280

Both written by Western Scholars though the above links are to Amazon India. I ordered both these books recently and read them and they're excellent imo.
I mean to be fair, The Bible has several moments where both slavery and infanticide are approved of by God. Sure, Christians in the past have abolished slavery, same with Jews in the Old Testament, but was it because of what God said? Or because of basic human morality?
