4.9/5 (26155 ratings)

Description:Spanning 2000 years of religious, cultural & political events, this illustrated volume--part of the Oxford Illustrated History series--provides an authoritative & accessible history of Christianity for general readers. The impact of Christianity on world civilization is almost incalculable. In exploring this heritage, 19 scholars range from the earliest origins to the present day to examine virtually every aspect of the faith. They discuss the apostle Peter & Roman Emperor Constantine, describe the role of Charlemagne in the expansion of the religion, & assess medieval scholasticism & the influence of Aquinas. The profound changes that occurred during both the Reformation & the Enlightenment are treated in chapters that offer portraits of such figures as Erasmus, Luther, Calvin, Wesley & Rousseau. Fully a 3rd of the book covers Christianity since 1800--with special studies of the faith as practiced in Britain & Europe, N. & S. America, Africa, India & the Far East--offering a continuous narrative filled with insight into the enormously diverse Christian world. The final chapters consider questions of contemporary Christian theology, conscience & belief, exploring new concepts of Christian community. Over 350 illustrations--including 32 color plates--grace the text, ranging from mosaics, paintings & sculptures, to architecture & modern art. There are 10 maps, a chronology & an annotated guide to further reading. Throughout, the book reflects the changing world in which Christians have found themselves, & the many ways in which, individually & thru church institutions, they in turn have influenced history.
