Christianity in the World: Review of Tom Holland, Dominion

by Michael Plekon

Tom Holland’s recent work, Dominion: How the Christian Revolution Remade the World, is a remarkable history of the Christian faith and Church and how it shaped the world. Much to his credit, Holland’s book stays true to its title. When he says the whole world, he really means all of it, including other faith traditions, people of no faith, and even some of Christianity’s greatest despisers, like Himmler and Stalin.
