The Consequences of Ideas

The Enlightenment (Part 1) (1x25)

Air date: Jun 22, 1998

Kingdoms rise and fall. This fact of life has been proven again and again throughout world history. If we could only learn from history, perhaps we can finally find a way to sustain a perfect government that will usher in utopia; at least that is what Enlightenment thinkers proposed. Continuing this series on the Consequences of Ideas, Dr. Sproul helps us understand the underlying ideas that shaped Enlightenment thought, and what effect they may have on us today.
