Thomas O'Loughlin focuses on such issues as the immanence and
transcendence of God, the notion of creation, the relation between
the individual and community, the heroic ideal of Christian life,
and notions of death and resurrection.
First published in 1976, Paul Johnson's exceptional study of
Christianity has been loved and widely hailed for its intensive
research, writing, and magnitude--"a tour de force, one of the most
ambitious surveys of the history of Christianity ever attempted and
perhaps the most radical" ("New York Review of Books").
In a highly readable companion to books on faith and history, the
scholar and author Johnson has illuminated the Christian world and
its fascinating history in a way that no other has. Johnson takes
off in the year 49 with his namesake the apostle Paul. Thus
beginning an ambitious quest to paint the centuries since the
founding of a little-known 'Jesus Sect', A History of Christianity
explores to a great degree the evolution of the Western world. With
an unbiased and overall optimistic tone, Johnson traces the
fantastic scope of the consequent sects of Christianity and the
people who followed them. Information drawn from extensive and
varied sources from around the world makes this history as credible
as it is reliable. Invaluable understanding of the framework of
modern Christianity--and its trials and tribulations throughout
history--has never before been contained in such a captivating
work.

Up until the second half of the 20th century, the American
Presbyterian creed has been the confessional tradition of the
Westminster Assembly (1643-48). Presbyterians in America adopted
the Westminster Confession nd Catechisms in 1729 through a
compromise measure that produced ongoing debate for the next
hundred years. Differences over the meaning of confessional
subscription were a continuing cause of the Presbyterian schisms of
1741 and 1837. The Presbyterian Creed is a study of the factors
that led to the 19th-century Old School/New School schism and the
Presbyterian reunions of 1864 and 1870. In these American
Presbyterian reunions, American Presbyterians finally reached
consensus on the meaning of confessional subscription which had
previously been so elusive.
