À propos de cet audio
A "marvelous" (Economist) account of how the Christian Revolution forged the Western imagination.
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.
©2019 Tom Holland (P)2019 Basic BooksCe que les critiques en disent
"A sweeping narrative...[Holland] is an exceptionally good storyteller with a marvelous eye for detail...excellent fun." (The Economist)
"What in other hands could have been a dry pedantic account of Christianity's birth and evolution becomes in Holland's an all-absorbing story...It takes a master storyteller to translate the development of a philosophical notion into a captivating story, and Holland proves to be one... Holland offers a remarkably nuanced and balanced account of two millennia of Christian history - intellectual, cultural, artistic, social and political. The book's scope is breathtaking." (The Literary Review)
"Christianity may not be on the march, but its principles continue to dominate in much of the world; this thoughtful, astute account describes how and why... Holland delivers penetrating, often jolting discussions on great controversies of Western civilization in which war, politics, and culture have formed a background to changes in values... An insightful argument that Christian ethics, even when ignored, are the norm worldwide." (Kirkus Reviews, starred review)

Truly an enjoyable and illuminating walk through the history of Christianity and its impact on our world
Knowing already a certain amount about the history of Christianity, I found this book very informative and helpful in understanding how Christianity has profoundly shaped our culture’s underlying assumptions about right and wrong. I am not qualified to judge how accurate and balanced all the historical accounts that fill the book are, but certainly the writing is masterful and engaging. Unlike another reviewer, I found the reader, who has a lively style, a good choice for this book. One is left more convinced that if Christianity is not true, it is certainly an extraordinary historical phenomenon, and most of us - especially people who would have been left on the margins in ancient societies - can only be grateful for its overall impact.

Phenomenal Work
A phenomenal work, thoroughly describing "...the most influential framework for making sense of human existence that has ever existed." Just as the proverbial fish, when asked, replies "...what water?", so too all of the West. We're swimming in it.

What a Story
so comprehensive, and thought provoking. It was easy to listen, being swept up in the many characters and global expressions of the story. Perhaps to his credit the author doesn't use this book to pick a side and justify his position, and the book seems stronger for it. It's a daunting journey that is well worth the investment, and really well narrated!!

2000 years of history in one fell swoop
The author manages to transition seamlessly between various figures and topics, going from perspective to perspective in a way that always has you ready for the next perfectly timed historical name drop. Starting with Jesus and going all the way to Donald Trump he never seems to lose momentum even as he checks in with almost every relevant major character and event along the way. The book Overall maintains a very objective and measured approach that never ventures into the realm of being preachy or annoying. Definitely worth a read for any fan of history.

An intense journey
A carefully woven view of the impact of Christianity. One may be inclined to disagree with the conclusions or be frustrated with repeated instances of human hypocrisy, but the evidence remains.
