This is a beautifully crafted and clearly written introduction to
Christianity over its 2000 year history, concentrating on the
interaction between the sacred and the secular. This book is a
practical response to the experience of teaching in a variety of
different settings from university undergraduates, through WEA, to
parish groups. This book will thus adopt an approach radically
different to that of many general Church histories in terms of
length, structure and presentation. The broad underlying theme of
the book will be the interaction between Christianity and the
secular world, exploring how one has shaped and been shaped by the
other, reflecting the title of the book. In order to achieve this,
the book will not attempt to cover the whole of Christian history
(this has been done frequently by others), but rather it will focus
on a number of specific themes and chronological periods. The four
themes will be Belief, Practice, Organisation and Propagation.
There will be four chronological divisions, chosen as pivotal in
the development of Christianity, and reflecting the conventional
divisions of history into ancient, medieval, early and later
modern. This will enable the book to be used as either a general
introduction to Christian history or as a starting point for
further investigation of one or more periods. The periods are: The
Imperial Church (300-500) The Medieval Church (1050-1250), The
Reformation Church (1450-1650) The Modern Church (1800-2000). There
will be included maps, timelines, quotations from primary source
material, a glossary and a further reading section.
