Description
Christianity: An Introduction explores the history and development of the Christian faith. From its humble beginnings in ancient Palestine to its rise as a dominant world religion, this book delves into the complexities and contradictions of Christianity's 2,000-year journey.
The story of Christianity is one of unexpected triumphs and surprising setbacks. It began with the teachings of an obscure village carpenter who was crucified by the Roman authorities, yet his followers claimed he was God. This book examines how a small sect, marked as outsiders, became the sanctioned religion of the Roman Empire and eventually the creed of billions of people.
Through its engaging narrative, Christianity: An Introduction reveals that the history of the Christian faith is not one of unimpeded progress, but rather a complex and often flawed story shaped by the lives and experiences of ordinary people.
