Dominion: How the Christian Revolution Remade the World

This is an amazing book. Part of my personal interest interest is the question, "Into what is Christianity evolving?" In many respects, Holland gives a solid answer to that question. I highly recommend this.

Its a real page turner. It does well on the impossible task of summarizing 2000 years of Christian history and also has some good summary of the Jewish religion.

O livro é bom, porque deixa claro que o Cristianismo teve um impacto sem igual no mundo. Nossa moralidade sexual, compaixão e direitos naturais são heranças cristãs. O problema do livro é que o autor nem sequer tenta separar suas avaliações de sua visão de mundo progressista. Critica a condenação de Paulo às relações homossexuais como hipócrita, ataca Donald Trump com base em alegações progressistas e exalta as militâncias de esquerda americanas. O livro não perderia nada sem isso. Pelo contrário, a avaliação teria sido bem mais imparcial e séria sem as opiniões políticas do autor.

I bought this thinking it was a different book to his UK version of a similar name. It's not, though it has a nicer contents page.Tom Holland is objective.The book itself was in pristine condition.

So, pastor Tim Keller recommended this book and if you’re curious why, there’s an extended riff on Tolkien and The Lord of the Rings near the end! I read this in a week or so, was enthralled and engaged and stayed up late to see what happened next, even though, since it’s history, you kind of expect what’s coming! I wanted more discussion of contemporary fruits of the seeds of the past, but appreciated his connecting the Beatles to ISIS (not metaphorically, by historical record!) To Holland’s credit, I’ve already picked up his book on Islam to read next.
