The Victory of Reason by Rodney Stark is a historical non-fiction work that explores how the rise of Western civilization, capitalism, and modern science was fundamentally shaped by Christian theology and rational thought. On the podcast Candace, host Candace Owens recommended the book during the episode titled I Say Ban Porn, Cardi B Defends It, which aired on June 19, 2024. Owens directed her listeners to the author Rodney Stark to support her historical argument regarding the medieval era. Specifically, she asserted that the era commonly referred to as the Dark Ages was not actually a period defined by intellectual darkness and stagnation. Instead, Owens argued that it was a time characterized by significant Christian discovery and innovation. By pointing her audience toward Stark's work, she utilized his historical perspectives to challenge conventional mainstream narratives about medieval history and religion, emphasizing the foundational contributions of Christian thought to modern progress, societal development, and the intellectual achievements that emerged during the period in question.
