Diarmaid MacCulloch's epic, acclaimed history A History of
Christianity: The First Three Thousand Years follows the story of
Christianity around the globe, from ancient Palestine to
contemporary China. How did an obscure personality cult come to be
the world's biggest religion, with a third of humanity its
followers? This book, now the most comprehensive and up to date
single volume work in English, describes not only the main facts,
ideas and personalities of Christian history, its organization and
spirituality, but how it has changed politics, sex, and human
society. Taking in wars, empires, reformers, apostles, sects,
churches and crusaders, Diarmaid MacCulloch shows how Christianity
has brought humanity to the most terrible acts of cruelty - and
inspired its most sublime accomplishments. 'A stunning tour de
force' Simon Sebag Montefiore, Sunday Telegraph Books of the Year

readable, full of insight ... It will have few, if any, rivals in
the English language' Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury,
Guardian 'A prodigious, thrilling, masterclass of a history book'
John Cornwell, Financial Times 'Essential reading for those
enthralled by Christianity and for those enraged by it' Melvyn
