Why Tom Holland Had to Rethink the Ancient World

Video Description

Historian Tom Holland breaks down why Christianity didn’t just reshape religion — it rewired the entire moral imagination of the West. From the brutality of Rome to the scandal of a crucified god, Holland reveals how the ancient world was turned upside down by an idea no one saw coming. He explains why Paul’s letters still shake the foundations of Western thinking and how the Roman Empire accidentally built the highways for a global revolution. A sharp, provocative journey into history, power, and the beliefs that still define us today. #TomHolland #EarlyChristianity #AncientRome #PaxRomana #ApostlePaul #MoralRevolution #Dominion #WesternCivilization #crucifixion ——— 🎥 More from us: Check out our other (German) channel: https://www.youtube.com/@EcclesiaeProjekt Project website: https://www.earlychristiancenters.com 📚 Handbook series: https://www.earlychristiancenters.com/early-christian-centers-handbook-series 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/early_christian_centers ——— ℹ️ About the project: This series of videos is part of the ECCLESIAE Project, a collaboration between the University of Bern (https://www.theol.unibe.ch/index_eng.html) and the University of Bonn (https://www.etf.uni-bonn.de/en/faculty-of-protestant-theology?set_language=en).
