About this listen
Thomas Cahill's book "How the Irish Saved Civilization" walks through the downfall of the Roman Empire and how in the chaos the world almost lost all of the classic literature, poetry, theology, philosophy and that once Rome fell, there were no more great buildings or master art. When chaos ensures, creativity dies.
Enter Ireland. Unconquered by Rome and a place where monks copied Scripture, poetry, theology, all of the Greek and Latin classics and thus preserved it for a later time.
In chaos, it is important that we find ways to create joy and beauty. Writing, singing, playing an instrument, reading, walking in nature are all ways in which we can fight the chaos.
