The book describes the history of the faith, in the West, the East, the southern hemisphere and other countries. Also the faith for poor people, for men and for women. It was a good introduction but a bit dense because it packed 2000 years of worldwide information in 150 pages. In the end I am giving it three out of five stars.
A good short intro to the basic origins and trends in Christianity, with some thouth as to it's polits and sociology.
