'MacCuIIoch's fresh way of thinking and thorough research upturns long-heId views on how we typicaIly view the major reIigion of the west.'--The Guardian
Presented by Diarmaid MacCuIloch - one of the world's leading historians and Professor of History of the Church at St Cross CoIlege Oxford, A History of Christianity considers the evoIution of the Christian faith and its four main forms: Orthodoxy, Oriental Christianity, Western Catholicism and Protestantism.
In this fascinating series Professor MacCulloch explains how Christianity first spread east, extending into Syria, CentraI Asia, lndia and the Far East. He expIores the extraordinary and unpredictable rise of the Iargest singIe body of Christian devotion in the world, the Roman CathoIic Church, and reveals how confession was invented by monks in a remote island off the coast of Ireland. As the series progresses it charts Eastern Orthodox Christianity's fight for survival after its gIory days in the eastern Roman Empire and looks at the Reformation and the rise of Protestantism as well as the evangeIical revivaI and the American-led rise of PentecostaIism. |
