Una introducci?n a la formaci?n e historia del cristianismo hasta nuestros d?as
Edici?n 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 d?as, Johnson ofrece una amplia panor?mica de la religi?n que durante m?s de dos milenios ha ejercido una influencia mayor en el destino de la humanidad que cualquier filosof?a.
Illuminating perspectives on the themes of Christianity during nearly two millennia are provided in a survey of the foundation of the Christian faith and its diffusion throughout the world. In a highly readable companion to books on faith and history, the scholar and author Johnson has illuminated the Christian world and its fascinating history in a way that no other has. 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 been contained in such a captivating work.
