In this episode of Marksism, Mark Tooley and Marc LiVecche discuss Tom Holland’s Dominion: The Making of the Western Mind. They evaluate Holland’s claim that Christianity has been triumphant across Western civilization, and they ask the question: What happens as people within Christian-based societies dechristianize? What happens when Christian sensibilities, like a yearning for justice, are ungrounded in Hebraic principles?

Tooley and LiVecche then look to the future, asking if there are any current political competitors that directly challenge greater Christian premises. China? Islamism? Communism? Neo-Facism?

Finally, the editors discuss LiVecche’s experience as a scholar at Oxford University and his future work at the US Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland.
