This book really is “essential” to understanding Christianity in its fullest context. The essays are multi-disciplinary and wide in scope, taking into consideration Christianity’s beliefs, sacramental worship, denominational histories, and future. What’s most impressive is that the book does this with a global perspective in mind, recognizing that Christianity has always been a universal religion.
