Dominion by Tom Holland

(read aloud)

This is a long, sweeping survey of Christian history, making the argument that Christianity has molded the thinking of the west. It has done this to an extent that is so great as to be almost paradoxically invisible. Despite the decline of Christianity, it still even influences atheistic attempts at morality. Religio and Reformatio are key terms and defined more by examples than rigorous definition. Well-written, and relentless in supporting his thesis.
