Five Cities that Ruled the World: How Jerusalem, Athens, Rome, London, and New York Shaped Global History by Douglas Wilson

Book recommended by Dave Moore (Twitter @DGEMoore). He used this book as part of his extensive paper on American History title "What Can We Really Know About History."

I like the book, it has some good antidotes and pieces of information, but it did not do justice to it's title. The author and publisher seems to be ashamed of the Christian and religious emphasis the of our history. I say ashamed not because of the lack of it in the book, but in the descriptions about the book. They neglected to mention anything about the theological part of the book at all.

Without a doubt, Wilson knows his history, and I especially like what he did have to say about the Christian impact to our history. The introduction to the book was really good also.
