The Christian Tradition

by Ralph Keen

The Christian Tradition , formerly published by Pearson/Prentice Hall, introduces students at the beginning of the third millennium to a religion that has evolved over and shaped two previous millennia. With particular focus placed on the social and cultural background to this tradition, the text provides a stimulating survey of the history of Christianity from its Jewish roots to the challenges it faces in the twenty-first century. This innovative text weaves a consideration of the arts, spirituality, religious life and practice―especially among the laity, women, and others outside the dominant institutional tradition―into its rich historical narrative, and offers a comprehensive and diverse view of the course of Christian history.
