In a lively, informative style, Christianity's main themes and movements are explored and illustrated throught with color photographs, reproductions of artwork, and dramatic shots of recent events in its history. "A.D." gives a clear and informed overview of Christianity for all celebrating or studying its 2000 years of religious history as we turn to a new millenium. Published jointly with the London Daily Telegraph.
A concise introduction to the history of the Church. However, it dwells a little too much on the protestant communities in its last chapters. The author is a good historian, though; the book is very well researched.
