Beginning with the Protestant Reformation of the sixteenth
century, this fully revised and updated second volume of The Story
of Christianity continues the marvelous history of the world's
largest religion. Award-winning historian Justo Gonzalez bring to
life the people, dramatic events, and theological debates that have
shaped Protestantism, Catholicism, and Orthodoxy. From the monk
Martin Luther, who dared to stand up to a corrupt pope, to the
surprising spread and growing vitality of today's church in Africa,
Asia, and South America, The Story of Christianity offers a
complete and up-to-date retelling of this amazing history.
With new information on the important contributions of women to
church history as well as the latest information on Christianity in
developing countries, Gonzalez's richly textured study discusses
the changes and directions of the church up to the twenty-first
century. The Story of Christianity covers such recent occurrences
as the fall of the Soviet Union and the return of the Russian
Orthodox Church; feminist, Africa-American, and Third-World
theologies; the scandals and controversies facing the reign of Pope
Benedict XVI; interfaith dialogue; and the movement toward unity of
all Christian churches. This revised and updated edition of The
Story of Christianity concludes with a thoughtful look at the major
issues and debates facing Christianity today.
