How does one graphically portray "Lutheran" Sweden or "Catholic"
Spain, where 98% of the population is claimed but only 3.6% and
15%, respectively, are actually practicing? How many Orthodox
Christians are left in Russia and other states of the former USSR?
How to reckon the number and life of Christians persecuted in China
or Indonesia? Atlases are generally limited to sketching political
hegemony, along ethnic and national lines. Indeed, the first 1500
years of Christianity can be largely conveyed by graphics that are
primarily geographical. Yet as we approach the modern period, where
the creedal preferences of rulers and governments are no longer
determinative, and the bonds of the old ethnic religions have
slackened, the geographical portrayal of religion becomes
problematic.;Franklin Littell's method in "The Illustrated History
of Christianity" is best conveyed by the term "confrontation." He
highlights those times and places of crisis and decision in which
the shape and direction of the Christian movement was determined.
Particular attention is paid to the interaction of Christians and
Jews and to the encounter of Christianity and Islam.
