Reprint. A best-selling book. 50,000 first printing.

Presents a modern reader's history of Christianity that traces the origins of the Hebrew Bible and chronicles three major strands of the Christian faith, documenting the religion's spread, the formation of the New Testament, and the role of Christianity in America.

The definitive history of Christianity for our time.

A product of electrifying scholarship conveyed with commanding skill, Diarmaid MacCulloch's Christianity goes back to the origins of the Hebrew Bible and encompasses the globe. It captures the major turning points in human history and fills in often neglected accounts of conversion and confrontation in Africa, Latin America and Asia. And it uncovers the roots of the faith that galvanized America, charting the surprising beliefs of the founding fathers, the rise of the Evangelical movement and of Pentecostalism, and the recent crisis within the Catholic Church. Bursting with original insights and a great pleasure to read, this monumental history will not soon be surpassed.
