How did the Christian Church originate, what journeys has it taken over two millennia, and how did it come to exist in its present, myriad forms? The answers to these questions form a tapestry of history that reaches from first century Palestine to the ends of the earth. This volume tells this rich story from an ecumenical perspective, drawing on both Eastern and Western historic sources in exploring the rise of Eastern Orthodoxy; the church across Asia, Africa, and the Americas; and the reformations of the Western Church; including the diversity of contemporary voices.The work benefits from many pedagogical features:- boxed text sections identifying central figures and points of debate- study questions for each chapter- chapter summaries- maps--charts--indexSupplemented by over 400 illustrations, this book embraces the universality of historic and current Christianity, creating a single and comprehensive volume for students of Church history and systematic theology.

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.
