Introduction to the History of Christianity

Written by more than sixty specialists from ten countries, this volume tells the dramatic, intriguing, and often surprising story of Christianity’s 2000-year history. Its 25 chapters are illuminated by more than 400 photographs and 30 maps, charts, and diagrams. Enhanced with dozens of short special-feature articles, the tremendously informative and fair text presents the story of Christianity in a strong and engaging narrative, always with an eye to the telling detail and the deeper religious currents that have swept through generations of Christian history.

Tim Dowley, who holds a doctorate in church history from the University of Manchester, is also author of the widely used volumes, The Student Bible Atlas, The Student Bible Guide, and The Student Guide to Life in Bible Times.
