Dan Walker’s Reviews > Dominion: How the Christian Revolution Remade the World > Status Update

This book started alowly, but now I can barely put it down! Fascinating discussion about how Julian tried to institute government charity. The author argues it was because he saw that church bishops had become truly powerful - raising large sums for the poor with extensive client lists. Makes me think that is why the modern governments insist on running welfare today-to take power to itself and away from churches.
