guy Posted May 30, 2021 Report Share Posted May 30, 2021 (edited) I first read Tom Holland’s “Rubicon” in 2006 (on a trip to Italy). I have admired his writing since then. He had at that time an almost detached view of the role of religion in the ancient world. In the last few years, however, Holland’s view on Christianity has evolved. Now, he has become more receptive to the possibility that the Christian movement may have had a positive influence on the development of a more tolerant and enlightened Western world. Admittedly, I have little interest in philosophical and religious matters. Also, I already have too many books waiting to be read. So, it will probably be a while before I find time to read this book. Here’s a good discussion on the book: Edited May 30, 2021 by guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
