Dominion: How the Christian Revolution Remade the World Free Audiobook Download by Tom Holland

Dominion: How the Christian Revolution Remade the World, is the first book in a trilogy that tells the story of how Christianity changed western civilization from its beginnings to modern day. It begins with the rise of Christianity in ancient Rome and continues through to the present-day. The author believes it was this shift from paganism to Christianity that led to such important developments as democracy, science, and eventually equality for all people.
The history of the Christian religion and its impact on the world. Tom Holland presents a brand new perspective on the rise of Christianity to global power by examining how it grew, spread, and changed not only other religions, but also politics and society. Mark Meadows is the narrator of this audiobook download.
In this book, Tom Holland argues that "Christianity has been the most important, dominant, and transformative force in the world for the last 2000 years. This is because it has had two unique features; its global reach and the longevity of its dominion."
"Dominion" is a powerful and sweeping account of Christianity's global sweep during the first three centuries of the current era. Written by a renowned British historian, this riveting history not only tells of how Christianity spread throughout the world but also how it shaped our conception of ourselves. This audiobook has been downloaded over 100,000 times since it was released in 2008.
The present, Tom Holland argues, is an age of globalisation. The most important thing in the world today is not what divides us but what unites us.
