"And Paul, for better or worse, in my considered judgment, is the most influential European. Neither Constantine nor Aristotle can compete with the enduring and potent legacy of Paul’s life and actions. The Apostle Paul of Tarsus made the Semitic temperament in religion an integral part of the European temperament in general.
Pauline Christianity is the nursery of the European character for some one and a half millennia. Even secularized, post-Christian Europeans—especially Marxists and secular liberals—are messianic in outlook. They zealously spread their message to the whole world, though they mistake a fashionable Eurocentric cosmopolitanism for an authentic universality, confusing their own local affluence and good fortune for a global condition."
