Historia del cristianismo

En este libro monumental, Paul Johnson hace gala de su maestria en el arte de contar la historia de una forma accesible, rica en detalles, apreciaciones y anecdotas, y al mismo tiempo ofrece los datos necesarios para responder a cuestiones esenciales sobre la evolucion de la fe cristiana. Desde los tiempos de San Pablo, pasando por los primeros concilios de la Iglesia y llegando hasta nuestros dias, Johnson ofrece una amplia panoramica de una religion que durante mas de dos milenios ha ejercido mayor influencia en el destino de la humanidad que cualquier filosofia. / In ""the best one-volume history of Christianity ever done,"" according to The Christian Century, Johnson takes off in the year 49 with his namesake the apostle Paul. Thus beginning an ambitious quest to paint the centuries since the founding of a little-known ""Jesus Sect"", A History of Christianity explores to a great degree the evolution of the Western world. With an unbiased and overall optimistic tone, Johnson traces the fantastic scope of the consequent sects of Christianity and the people who followed them. Information drawn from extensive and varied sources from around the world makes this history as credible as it is reliable. Invaluable understanding of the framework of modern Christianity - and its trials and tribulations throughout history - has never before been contained in such a captivating work.
