Almost the entire set of our values, such as human equality and dignity, care for the weak, condemnation of slavery, cruelty and oppression, is of Christian origin. Tom Holland will take us on a journey through history to show how the centuries-old development of the Christian idea has left an indelible mark on the world today and what aspects of Christian history underlie the very values that we encounter every day.
Dominion puts the story of how we got to where we are and why we think the way we think in the broadest possible historical context. The reader will appreciate how new and supernatural Christian teachings were when they first appeared and will be able to watch the development of the revolutionary idea from St. Michael to #MeToo.
The text of the book is supplemented by comments and notes of the scientific editor, which are especially valuable and will help to understand the complex twists and turns of history.
Tom Holland is a great storyteller. The words he weaves together are captivating and alive. You might think that the story will be boring or monotonous, but he shows how reality is sometimes more interesting and surprising than fiction.
