Christianity

by Diarmaid MacCulloch

Once in a generation a historian will redefine his field, producing a work of electrifying scholarship conveyed with commanding skill. Diarmaid MacCulloch’s *Christianity* is such a book. It ranges back to the origins of the Hebrew Bible and covers the world, following the three divergent paths of the Christian faith. We meet monks and crusaders, heretics and reformers, popes and abolitionists, and discover Christianity’s essential role in shaping human history and the intimate lives of men and women. MacCulloch writes with feeling about the central mysteries of the faith and the challenges facing the Church in America and in the world today.
