An introduction to the history of the Christian church in the
modern period, beginning with the changing social, cultural, and
religious context of Europe around the year 1500 and tracing the
development of the various branches of the Christian faith through
the present. An important feature of this study is the integration
of American, European, and--to a lesser extent--African and Asian
elements of the church's story during the modern period. The scope
of the book's approach is broad, ranging from an examination of
theological figures and the history of denominations and movements
to discussions of the social history of the churches and women's
history.
This is a concise but substantive examination of the history of
Christianity in the modern period. It integrates newer research
into social and cultural history without departing from the
traditional presentation of theologians and movement. It maintains
a focus that is relevant to American students without being
exclusively tied to Europe and North America. This volume can be
used as a stand alone text or as a set with the previous two books
in the series, The Early Church and The Medieval Church.
