    About this ebook

    The history of Christianity can seem dauntingly complex: it covers two thousand years and involves virtually every corner of the earth. It has shaped the world as we know it today. The Essential History of Christianity covers both the key historical events and the big picture. Miranda Threlfall-Holmes helps us to understand what has gone on in the past, and sheds light on our present experiences of churches, religion, spirituality and religious conflict. She also gives important clues about what might happen in the future. This entertaining and accessible guide makes sense of a fascinating subject, providing a clear overview of the broad sweep of Christian history, and is indispensible for those beginning to study Christianity or the Church.

      Who Wants To Be A Catholic?

      Feb 7, 2024

      I spent five long years at a strict Paris convent boarding school studying l’histoire de l’église. This failed to engage my attention all that time. The Middle Ages seemed interminable and monotonous, and 12 was far too young to be reading Montaigne.
