The strength of this book are the topical chapters, colorful pictures, diagrams, maps, and so forth. History comes to life on these 600+ colorful pages. It is only meant as an introduction, and in that sense, it succeeds. With multiple authors, some topics are repeated, but that is helpful in an introductory textbook. If hoping for more details, you might be disappointed, since some figures only receive brief mention. Overall, it is a perfect companion to other Christian history books. (

Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0800629353, Hardcover)

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.
