Description

A People's History of Christianity: The Other Side of the Story by Diana Butler Bass For centuries, the history of Christianity has been told as a story of orthodoxy and power. However, this narrative overlooks the many Christians who have refused to conform to rigid church hierarchies, instead seeking to recapture the radical implications of Jesus's life and message. Historian Diana Butler Bass sheds new light on these grassroots movements and their enduring impact on the Church today. Through her research, Bass reveals the surprising ways in which ordinary Christians have preserved Jesus's message of social justice over the past 2,000 years. From the early Christian communities that challenged the status quo to the modern-day movements that continue to shape the Church, Bass's book offers a fresh and nuanced understanding of the complex and often overlooked history of Christianity. By exploring the stories of these ordinary Christians, Bass offers a more complete picture of the Church's past and its ongoing struggle to live out its values in the world.
