Description

Christianity is a global faith. Today; people are increasingly aware that Christianity extends far beyond Europe and North America; permeating the Eastern and Southern hemispheres. What we may know less well is that Christianity has always been a global faith. A vast untold story waits to be heard beyond the familiar tale of how the Christian faith spread across Europe. Not only was Jesus born in Asia; but in the early years of the church Christianity found fertile soil in Africa and soon extended to East Asia as well. In this brief introduction to world Christian history; Derek Cooper explores the development of Christianity across time and the continents. Guiding readers to places such as Iraq; Ethiopia and India; Scandinavia; Brazil and Oceania; he reveals the fascinating―and often surprising―history of the church.
