[Serious] Book reports

[Belacqua]

Recently the book Dominion by Tom Holland has been getting some attention. It's a single-volume compact history of the changes that Christianity brought to the world, and claims that even non-Christian thinkers today continue to think along the lines that Christianity laid out for us.

I am not claiming the book is great or fault-free or necessary to anyone's education; only that it covers topics which people on this forum sometimes discuss. We might get something from paying it some attention.

I'll post some comments on it when my morning routine settles down later.

Thanks for introducing me to Tom Holland, looks like the next book I want to read. Mind if I asked how you have access to it? Because I don’t show it available till the end of October?

I think you'll like this one. In a way, Charles Taylor's A Secular Age addresses the same thing in a more scholarly way. Holland has more historical anecdotes that make it easier to read. 

If you don't mind a little piracy, the British edition is available now.
