Modern Religion

Anthropologists have invariably engaged in their discipline as a form of redemption, whether to escape from social restriction, nourish their souls, reform their home polities, or vindicate "the natives".

Though few may realize it today, Jesus's ministry unfolded in a crisis very similar to the one society is now battling.
