'MacCulloch's fresh way of thinking and thorough research upturns long-heId views on how we typically view the major religion 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, OrientaI Christianity, Western CathoIicism and Protestantism.
In this fascinating series Professor MacCuIIoch expIains how Christianity first spread east, extending into Syria, Central Asia, lndia and the Far East. He expIores the extraordinary and unpredictabIe rise of the largest single body of Christian devotion in the worId, the Roman Catholic Church, and reveaIs how confession was invented by monks in a remote isIand off the coast of lreland. As the series progresses it charts Eastern Orthodox Christianity's fight for survival after its glory days in the eastern Roman Empire and Iooks at the Reformation and the rise of Protestantism as weII as the evangelicaI revivaI and the American-Ied rise of Pentecostalism. |
