WOF 182: What was the Enlightenment?
Several recent bestselling books have focused on the Enlightenment, including Stephen Pinker's Enlightenment Now: The Case for Reason, Science, Humanism, and Progress. But what was the Enlightenment, and how should we view its effects? Bishop Barron offers his take today.
A listener asks how Christians determine which parts of the Mosaic law in the Old Testament are still in effect today.
