The dramatic story of Christianity from its origins to the present day,
told through more than one hundred stunning color maps. With over two
billion practicing believers today, Christianity has taken root in
almost all parts of the globe. Its impact on Europe and the Americas in
particular has been fundamental. Through more than one hundred beautiful
color maps and illustrations, Christianity traces the history of the
religion, beginning with the world of Jesus Christ. From the
consolidation of the first Christian empire-Constantine's Rome-to the
early Christian states that thrived in Ireland, Ethiopia, and other
regions of the Roman periphery, Christianity quickly proved dynamic and
adaptable. After centuries of dissemination, strife, dogmatic division,
and warfare in its European and Near Eastern heartland, Christianity
conquered new worlds. In North America, immigrants fleeing persecution
and intolerance rejected the established Church, and in time revivalist
religions flourished and spread. Missionaries took the Christian message
to Latin America, Africa, and Asia, bringing millions of new converts
into the fold. Christianity has served as the inspiration for some of
the world's finest monuments, literature, art, and architecture, while
also playing a major role in world politics and history, including
conquest, colonization, conflict, and liberation. Despite challenges in
the modern world from atheism and secularism, from scandals and internal
divisions, Christianity continues to spread its message through new
technologies while drawing on a deep well of history and tradition.
