Synopsis

Explore a sweeping, critical survey of world religions and Christian denominations.

This edition surveys Judaism, paganism, Christianity, and Islam, and maps the many denominations and sects that have shaped the Christian world, along with deism and atheism, all through a historical lens.

This volume weaves together histories, key figures, and the evolution of belief across eras and regions. It presents a detailed, sometimes provocative, portrait of religious movements and their social impacts, offering readers a clearer view of how faiths have interacted and changed over time.
  • Clear, era-spanning narrative about major faiths and their followers.
  • Profiles of reformers, churches, and controversies that shaped doctrine.
  • Context for how religious groups spread, diverged, or merged across continents.
  • Illustrative notes on governance, worship, and the spread of faith in history.
