brief but thorough summary
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This is a brief but thorough summary of the growth and variety of experience and points of view of Christian communities from the beginning to present. Much more than a cursory explore there is enough detail to give a pretty clear picture of the breadth and scope that has been Christianity.
Global Christianity
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Marty is the consummate church historian. In this, latest of his publications, he is the insider looking in from the outside. In a sweeping overview he points out that Christianity was a global faith from its inception. From the ancient land of Israel through Asia Minor and North Africa, Christianity rapidly spread through the Mediterranean basin, and thus to Europe, North American, and finally to the global south. Highly recommended for study groups interested in seeing the broad sweep of Christianity. Al Kirk
