Excerpt from The Evangelical Guardian and Review, Vol. 2: May-December, 1818; January-April, 1819 On the first day of July, 1800, m the 77th year of her age, her long and exemplary life was end ed, without pain or previous warning. She rose in her usual health and spirits, walked some time in her garden; but before nine at night was called to the enjoyment of that rest which re maineth for the people of God. The nature of her complaint pre vented her from saying any thing - nor was it necessary. Her life, as a daughter, wife, and me ther, under the direction of the Spirit of God, since she had Open ly avowed Christ to be her all, was enough.

A "marvelous" (Economist) account of how the Christian Revolution forged the Western imagination. Crucifixion, the Romans believed, was the worst fate imaginable, a punishment reserved for slaves. How astonishing it was, then, that people should have come to believe that one particular victim of crucifixion-an obscure provincial by the name of Jesus-was to be worshipped as a god. Dominion explores the implications of this shocking conviction as they have reverberated throughout history. Today, the West remains utterly saturated by Christian assumptions. As Tom Holland demonstrates, our morals and ethics are not universal but are instead the fruits of a very distinctive civilization. Concepts such as secularism, liberalism, science, and homosexuality are deeply rooted in a Christian seedbed. From Babylon to the Beatles, Saint Michael to #MeToo, Dominion tells the story of how Christianity transformed the modern world.
