It offers a sweeping, accessible exploration of Christianity’s profound influence on Western morals, culture, and modern society, backed by extensive research and praised for reshaping readers’ understanding of history and ethics. ## Description An extraordinary account of how the Christian Revolution forged the Western imagination, from the author of Rubicon . “A galloping tour of Christianity’s influence across the last 2,000 years.” ― New York Times Crucifixion, the Romans believed, was the worst fate imaginable, a punishment reserved for slaves. How astonishing it was, then, that people should have come to believe that one particular victim of crucifixion―an obscure provincial by the name of Jesus―was to be worshipped as a god. Dominion explores the implications of this shocking conviction as they have reverberated throughout history. Today, the West remains utterly saturated by Christian assumptions. As Tom Holland demonstrates, our morals and ethics are not universal but are instead the fruits of a very distinctive civilization. Concepts such as secularism, liberalism, science, and homosexuality are deeply rooted in a Christian seedbed. From Babylon to the Beatles, Saint Michael to #MeToo, Dominion tells the story of how Christianity transformed the modern world. Review: A truly unmissable read - As a ravenously obsessed fan of "The Rest Is History" podcast, I went down the rabbit hole searching for books written by the podcast’s two exceptional historians, Tom Holland and Dominic Sandbrook. This unparalleled duo both possess an incredible breadth of historical knowledge that is as impressive as it is thought-provoking, always inspiring me to learn more. It was looking through their work that led me to read Dominion, a book that has profoundly reshaped my understanding of history. The genius of its premise lies in Tom Holland’s ability to identify and articulate a shaping force so pervasive in Western civilization that it could only be recognized by a truly astute scholar. Holland argues that Christianity has not only been the primary influence on the West, but also that its impact continues to shape our modern world. The book masterfully weaves together the threads that form the tapestry of Western thought, demonstrating how Christianity’s influence is both deep and wide-ranging. Ambitious in its scope, Dominion traces the historical thread of Christianity, beginning with the Bible and continuing through the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, the Reformation, and beyond, chronicling the path Christianity has carved from antiquity to our contemporary culture. Holland’s unique vantage point, informed by a lifetime dedicated to the study of classical and ancient history, allows him to explore the causes and effects of Christianity’s influence. This book stands out not only as a well-researched and significant scholarly achievement but also as an accessible read for anyone interested in understanding our past—and, by extension, our present. Its insights shed a unique and important light on both our history and our current times. To me, reading Dominion was a transformative experience which both deepened my understanding of the world and at times shattering prior assumptions I long took for granted. For these reasons and more, I consider this book a truly unmissable read. Review: A detailed yet broad survey of Christian influence on the West - Does a person have to believe in God to be moral? The short answer to the much debated query is no. Plenty of atheists and agnostics lead lives that are just as moral (or immoral) as their deity-believing neighbors. But what about a society? A country? A civilization? To what extent does morality as we enlightened moderns understand it actually derive from Judeo-Christian theology and philosophy? In his sweeping yet detailed look at the history of western civilization, historian Tom Holland makes the argument that what we think of as universal moral ideals—looking after the poor, equality among men, women's rights, etc.—are actually the byproducts of Western Christianity. Holland shows the sharp contrasts of western civilization before and after Christianity emerged, noting that Greco-Roman paganism espoused norms that would horrify us. He also shows how causes often considered non-Christian or even anti-Christian, such as communism and secularism, have their intellectual roots in Christian reformist efforts. So pervasive is this influence, Holland argues, that even as Christianity is in sharp decline in Europe and North America, the moral assumptions remain in place. Overall, Holland's arguments are strong ones. He cites and quotes many primary sources to buttress his claims. He also gives several examples to back his thesis. For example, Holland describes the actions of groups like the Diggers, the Quakers, and the Levellers, whose communal models predate Karl Marx by a couple of centuries. Also of great interest are the anti-Christian intellectuals that Holland quotes who credited (or blamed) the religion for mainstreaming ideas like charity for the weak and equality of all people. Prominent examples include the Marquis de Sade and Friedrich Nietzsche. If there was one weakness to the book, I would say that some of the connections between pre-modern Christian thinkers and 20th/21st century influencers were a bit speculative. When tying the Beatles' "All you need is love" song to St. Paul's "the greatest of these is love" sentiments, Holland didn't have a source showing the pop band directly citing the New Testament writer as their inspiration. Then again, when something is so integral to one's thinking, to the point of being thoroughly internalized, how often does one actually know the source of one's inspiration? Such is the nature of Christian influence on western society, a great survey of which is described (sometimes in disgusting detail) by Holland. The biggest question left largely unexplored by Holland's excellent opus was how long such moral influence will last as churches continue to close en masse in western nations. As more Americans and Europeans are raised without a direct line to Christianity, will they begin to abandon such universal norms? Will we see such things as human sacrifices, slavery, abandonment of the poor, child killing, severe body mutilation, and rampant sexual promiscuity become the norm once more? Or are we already at that point, as seen with elective abortion, homosexuality, "gender-affirming care," hook-up culture, rape culture, the rise of online hate, drops in charitable giving and cuts to government welfare programs? Regardless of the answer, Holland's book is a must-read for lovers of history, those interested in modern western ethics, and any curious thinker. ## Features - First Trade Paperback Edition: March 2021 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #6,799 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1 in Italian History (Books) #3 in History of Christianity (Books) #4 in Christian Church History (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,497 Reviews | ## Images ![Dominion: How the Christian Revolution Remade the World - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/812SWL69-QL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A truly unmissable read *by S***E on February 7, 2026* As a ravenously obsessed fan of "The Rest Is History" podcast, I went down the rabbit hole searching for books written by the podcast’s two exceptional historians, Tom Holland and Dominic Sandbrook.
