Dominion: How the Christian Revolution Remade the World
Autor Tom Hollanden Limba Engleză Hardback – 28 oct 2019
A
historian
of
antiquity
shows
how
the
Christian
Revolution
forged
the
Western
imagination
Crucifixion,
the
Romans
believed,
was
the
worst
fate
imaginable.
It
was
this
that
rendered
it
so
suitable
a
punishment
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-had
been
a
god.Dominionexplores
the
implications
of
this
shocking
conviction
as
they
have
reverberated
throughout
history.
Today,
the
West
remains
utterly
saturated
by
Christian
assumptions.
Our
morals
and
ethics
are
not
universal.
Instead,
they
are
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,Dominiontells
the
story
of
how
Christianity
transformed
the
world.
