In The Christian Society, one of the great Christian commentators
of the twentieth century describes how the Church came to be a
society. The past relationship between the missionary church and
the pagan cultures it replaced is discussed alongside more recent
delicate ecumenical relationships and the ongoing conflict between
the church and atheism. Stephen Neill's perceptiveness as a
historian is shown in his masterful summary of the church's story
from the days of Jesus to his own time. Meanwhile, his experience
as a missionary and ecumenist comes to the fore as he demonstrates
how the unity of the church is integral to its place in modern
society, and its power to create a society. Throughout, his
approach is empirical, and he considers 'all who have claimed the
Christian name, without making preliminary judgements as to their
orthodoxy or their standing within the general body of Christian
people.' The result is a comprehensive depiction of Christianity as
a social phenomenon that is as relevant today as when it was
written.
