La historia del cristianismo (B DE BOLSILLO) - Tapa blanda

Edición especial de La historia de cristianismo de Paul Johnson.

Desde los tiempos de san Pablo, pasando por los primeros concilios de la Iglesia y llegando hasta nuestros días, Johnson ofrece una amplia panorámica de la religión que durante más de dos milenios ha ejercido una influencia mayor en el destino de la humanidad que cualquier filosofía.

El autor hace gala en este libro de su maestría en el arte de contar la historia de una forma accesible, rica en detalles, apreciaciones y anécdotas, y al mismo tiempo ofrece los datos necesarios para responder a cuestiones esenciales sobre la evolución de la fe cristiana.

This book is a tour de force, one of the most ambitious surveys of the history of Christianity ever attempted and perhaps the most radical. In eight sections, with a great range of reading and a knowledge that is never made tedious, he tells the story of the rise, greatness, and decline of Christianity.

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.
