“To live in a Western country,” Tom Holland argues, “is to live in a society still utterly saturated by Christian concepts and assumptions.” In Dominion, Holland gives an account of how Christianity changed the history of Europe and still provides the framework for our secular age. This week, we look at the Protestant Reformation, the French Enlightenment, and the rise of colonialism.

On Friday, July 11 from 3–4 PM, join Nathaniel Peters (Morningside) for a discussion of Chapters 13, 16, and 17 of Tom Holland’s Dominion.
