Dominio

The fascinating story of how the Christian revolution changed the world. Christianity is the most influential and enduring legacy of antiquity, and its emergence constitutes the most radical revolution known to Western history. The impact of the Christian religion has left its mark on all fields of human development. Consequently, despite the growing number of people abandoning this faith today, living in a modern country is living in a society whose instincts and traditions have deep Christian roots. In Dominion, the historian Tom Holland narrates, with his usual erudition and elegance, how we have arrived at the present and how the western mind has been forged in the broader historical context. In a revealing analysis that covers from the Persian invasion of Greece in 480 a. C. to the migratory crises of today's Europe, from Nebuchadnezzar and the early days of the Church to the Beatles, the feminist movement and the Islamic State, Holland explores why Christianity has been and is a revolutionary force and how it has radically transformed what it means to be human.
