Description

The Lost History of Christianity reveals a surprising story about the origins of the faith. Contrary to popular perception, Christianity's early churches were not limited to the West, but instead stretched across the Middle East, Africa, and Asia, covering a vast territory under Islamic rule.

Philip Jenkins explores how these Eastern churches thrived for over 1,000 years, shaping the course of Christianity and leaving a lasting impact on the world. From China to North Africa, these churches encountered a full spectrum of acceptance and persecution, ultimately contributing to their decline.

This book offers a fresh perspective on the early history of Christianity, challenging common assumptions and shedding new light on the subject. Jenkins' engaging narrative brings to life the stories of these forgotten churches, revealing the complex and fascinating history of the faith's earliest years.
