The authors have succeeded admirably in the daunting task of telling the global history of Christianity in one manageable volume. Images, intelligent discussion questions, and especially well-selected documents to accompany the narrative make the book terrific for students, but also invaluable for older readers as well. The book excels with its range of voices, its attention to east and west, north and south, and its compact narrative from the time of Christ to the 21st century.
