The dramatic story of Christianity from its origins to the present
day, told through more than one hundred stunning color maps. With
over two billion practicing believers today, Christianity has taken
root in almost all parts of the globe. Its impact on Europe and the
Americas in particular has been fundamental. Through more than one
hundred beautiful color maps and illustrations, Christianity traces
the history of the religion, beginning with the world of Jesus
Christ. From the consolidation of the first Christian
empire-Constantine's Rome-to the early Christian states that
thrived in Ireland, Ethiopia, and other regions of the Roman
periphery, Christianity quickly proved dynamic and adaptable. After
centuries of dissemination, strife, dogmatic division, and warfare
in its European and Near Eastern heartland, Christianity conquered
new worlds. In North America, immigrants fleeing persecution and
intolerance rejected the established Church, and in time revivalist
religions flourished and spread. Missionaries took the Christian
message to Latin America, Africa, and Asia, bringing millions of
new converts into the fold. Christianity has served as the
inspiration for some of the world's finest monuments, literature,
art, and architecture, while also playing a major role in world
politics and history, including conquest, colonization, conflict,
and liberation. Despite challenges in the modern world from atheism
and secularism, from scandals and internal divisions, Christianity
continues to spread its message through new technologies while
drawing on a deep well of history and tradition.
