About this product

Product Information

'If great books encourage you to look at the world in an entirely new way, then Dominion is a very great book indeed . . . Written with terrific learning, enthusiasm and good humour, Holland's book is not just supremely provocative, but often very funny' Sunday Times History Book of the Year Christianity is the most enduring and influential legacy of the ancient world, and its emergence the single most transformative development in Western history. Even the increasing number in the West today who have abandoned the faith of their forebears, and dismiss all religion as pointless superstition, remain recognisably its heirs. Seen close-up, the division between a sceptic and a believer may seem unbridgeable. Widen the focus, though, and Christianity's enduring impact upon the West can be seen in the emergence of much that has traditionally been cast as its nemesis: in science, in secularism, and yes, even in atheism. That is why Dominion will place the story of how we came to be what we are, and how we think the way that we do, in the broadest historical context. Ranging in time from the Persian invasion of Greece in 480 BC to the on-going migration crisis in Europe today, and from Nebuchadnezzar to the Beatles, it will explore just what it was that made Christianity so revolutionary and disruptive; how completely it came to saturate the mind-set of Latin Christendom; and why, in a West that has become increasingly doubtful of religion's claims, so many of its instincts remain irredeemably Christian. The aim is twofold: to make the reader appreciate just how novel and uncanny were Christian teachings when they first appeared in the world; and to make ourselves, and all that we take for granted, appear similarly strange in consequence. We stand at the end-point of an extraordinary transformation in the understanding of what it is to be human: one that can only be fully appreciated by tracing the arc of its parabola over millennia.

    A really great book ...

    This is an excellent book - well written, well researched and very thought provoking. The writer also has a style that is easy to read, so although it's a big book, with a lot of information, it's also a page turner .l..

    Absence of Absolute Truth

    As all his other books "Dominion" is extremely well written and packed full of information. Unfortuneatly Mr. Holland betrays, albeit unconciously, a lack of beleif in an absolute truth, this gave me as a beleiver an uncomfortable feeling. For instance, his treatment of the early church leaves a distinct impression that St. Paul was the instigator and leader of the whole church outside Palestine. By so doing he obsures the working of the Holy Spirit and reduces the reasons for the growth of the Christian church to turmoil in the philosophical and political spheres of the Roman world. I remain a dedicated fan of Mr. Holland and cherish my copy of his Channel 4 documentary.
