“[A] brilliant survey of the development of Christianity . . . tells a riveting story of a struggling young religion searching for an identity.” — Publishers Weekly This sweeping history begins with the life of Jesus and narrates the remarkable story of Christianity as it unfolded over the next thousand years.

Robert Louis Wilken, beloved professor and renowned author, selects people and events of particular importance in Christian history to bring into focus the full drama of the new religion’s development.
