The I.B.Tauris History of the Christian Church
Synopsis
The cultural, social and political dominance of Christendom in `the West' over 2 millennia makes the Christian Church a shaper of the modern world beyond the strictly religious. Its interactions with other world religions have caused tensions at times and not least in the modern world because of a profound ignorance of the history of ideas which has brought the Church to where it is today. The Christian Church today has many faces, behind which lies a history of thought, effort and struggle. The I.B.Tauris History of the Christian Church proposes to provide the 21st century reader with a command of the sequence and network of ideas of what the Church is and of the history of this long tradition.

What Reviewers Are Saying
'A series such as this is hugely welcome. Its emphasis on the history of ideas, and on the global - not just European - experience of Christianity and its manifestations of church, will be valued by students, scholars and general readers alike. The I.B.Tauris History of the Christian Church brings ecclesiastical history into a new era, for a new generation'. - Diarmaid MacCulloch, Professor of the History of the Church, University of Oxford
