In the context of the pagan classical world, the Christian faith was a shocking, even unfathomable inversion of the values systems and structures of the time, and its explosive growth unimaginable. Yet in today’s world, Christianity is often considered boring or backwards. How might we better discern and understand the radicalism of Christianity’s origins, its impact through the centuries, and its enduring formational power? 

Historian Tom Holland’s landmark book Dominion: How the Christian Revolution Remade the World, calls attention to these puzzles and paradoxes. Coming to the material as a historian of the classical world, he was amazed at the rupture that Christianity represented, and then followed the story over the millennia. His account is powerful – and as the co-host of the world’s most popular history podcast, his storytelling is peerless.
