As we close out this series on Christianity’s contributions to society, we focus on healthcare. Besides the opening of hospitals and asylums, the training and education of those who cared for the ill was improved. Nursing is one example. In the Early Church, widows, deaconesses, and young women were nurses, providing comfort to the sick. [&hellip
The Christian Church made contributions to society that we may not even realize. This month the focus is upon the health care contributions to the world. Following the example of Jesus and the apostles, the Early Church sought to heal those who were sick. As we have seen, hospitals were first opened due to the [&hellip
As we continue to see what the Christian Church did in the development of healthcare, let’s focus on the opening of hospitals. Jesus went about healing many people. Matthew 4:23 says, “Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people.” [&hellip
The contributions by the Christian Church through the centuries are many. Because of the love of God displayed in the salvation provided by Jesus Christ, believers’ lives were changed, and in return, they changed their culture. The development of hospitals is one such example. Travel through a large city and notice the names of the [&hellip
As we finish this month’s blog series on the increase of charitable giving due to the influence of Christianity, let’s detail the developments through time.

This month we examine the impact of aid given to the needy due to God’s Word and the charitable institutions that arose from the influence of the Christian church. As we saw previously, charity wasn’t part of the fabric of Greco-Roman life. It was, however, woven throughout the pages of the Bible. In the Old [&hellip
Let’s turn our attention to the issue of charitable giving and the humane treatment of others as we continue to examine the contributions that Christianity has made in culture. The Christian Church chartered a new direction in the treatment of the poor, sick, and others. The reason for this was simple–such treatment was not found in the [&hellip
As we close out this series of blogs on the respect given to women, the impact of the Christian church is clear. Thanks to the influence of the Christian Church, the culture of the Roman empire changed for the better in terms of the treatment of women. For example, the Roman Emperor Valentinian I outlawed [&hellip
The Christian church’s attitude toward women as people worthy of respect and consideration was modeled by Jesus Himself.
