A History of Christianity

This is a single-volume history of Christianity from Second Temple Judaism and the Jesus movement to the global churches of the recent past. MacCulloch follows Eastern and Western churches, Orthodoxy, the Reformation, missions, and the faiths of Africa, Asia, and the Americas, treating doctrine, politics, and worship as parts of one long story. Jewish roots, Islamic encounters, and internal splits receive sustained attention. It is a narrative survey of a world religion, not a work of systematic theology and not a life of Jesus.
