Church historians have long known and appreciated Christianity's
global history. Until recently, however, introductory textbooks on
the history of Christianity focused almost exclusively on Europe
and North America. Robert Bruce Mullins's A Short World History of
Christianity, by contrast, offers a panoramic picture of the
history of Christianity in its Western and non-Western expressions.
It tells the story of the early church in the Greek East as well as
the Latin West; of Christianity's spread into Asia as well as
Europe during the Middle Ages; and its explosion around the world
during the modern period. Mullins's highly readable narrative
explores why global perspectives have emerged so strongly in our
understanding of the story of Christianity and how they have
impacted Christianity's perspective on its place in the world. This
newly revised edition adds information on such global phenomena as
early Syriac-speaking Christianity; the growth of Pentecostalism
around the world, especially in the southern hemisphere; and recent
trends in Christianity, including the elevation of the first pope
born in the Americas. A time line of key dates, call-out boxes, and
other helpful study materials are also provided. Beginning students
will appreciate this memorable introduction to the most important
events in the history and development of Christianity.
