Long description
Professor Diarmaid MacCulloch – a leading historian and Professor of History of the Church and a Fellow of St Cross College, Oxford – reveals the origins of Christianity and explores what it means to be a Christian. A History of Christianity poses the question can Christianity survive in an increasingly apathetic and secular society?
MacCulloch goes on to trace the growth of Evangelical Protestantism across the globe, looks at the Reformation and its attack on the Catholic Church, explores Eastern Orthodox Christianity's fight for survival and explores the extraordinary rise of the Roman Catholic Church.
