false 6262529 1 <p> For too long, the history of Christianity has been told as the triumph of orthodox doctrine imposed through power and hierarchy. In <i>A People's History of Christianity</i>, historian and religion expert Diana Butler Bass reveals an alternate history that includes a deep social ethic and far-reaching inclusivity: "the other side of the story" is not a modern phenomenon, but has always been practiced within the church.
