Dominion: The Making of the Western Mind by Tom Holland is a transformative literary exploration that invites you to challenge conventional views of history and humanity.

Lauded as the Sunday Times History Book of the Year, this witty and erudite work provides a provocative and often humorous perspective on Christianity's profound impact on Western civilization. Holland argues that Christianity is the ancient world's most enduring legacy, shaping Western history in ways that even the most skeptical individuals cannot escape.

As you delve into Dominion: The Making of the Western Mind, you will uncover:

  • The connection between believers and skeptics, revealing that the divide is not as vast as it seems.
  • The influence of Christianity on science, secularism, and even atheism.
  • A rich tapestry of historical figures, including Nebuchadnezzar and The Beatles.

Holland meticulously examines the revolutionary nature of Christian teachings, highlighting their impact on both Latin Christendom and the increasingly skeptical West. This ambitious journey spans centuries—from the Persian invasion of Greece in 480 BC to the modern-day migration crisis in Europe—inviting readers on a thought-provoking intellectual journey.

Dominion serves a dual purpose: it illuminates the astonishing novelty of Christianity’s messages in their historical context while encouraging readers to reassess their views on what it means to be human. By tracing the arc of human self-perception across millennia, this essential read is both enlightening and vital for understanding our modern world.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
