The story of Christianity

Coauthored by an Irish Catholic priest and an American evangelical publisher, this sumptuously illustrated volume offers a whirlwind tour of the Christian Church. The narrative kicks off with Abraham, the Old Testament patriarch, followed by a nutshell outline of ancient Israelite history. The authors then move on to discuss the life of Jesus, the growth of the early Church, the conversion of Europe, the Great Schism, the Crusades, the Renaissance, Western revivalism and the Church's global mission.
