Una introducción a la formación e historia del cristianismo hasta nuestros días
Edición 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 días, Johnson ofrece una amplia panorámica de la religión que durante más de dos milenios ha ejercido una influencia mayor en el destino de la humanidad que cualquier filosofía.
El autor hace gala en este libro de su maestría en el arte de contar la historia de una forma accesible, rica en detalles, apreciaciones y anécdotas, y al mismo tiempo ofrece los datos necesarios para responder a cuestiones esenciales sobre la evolución de la fe cristiana.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
First published in 1976, Paul Johnson’s exceptional study of Christianity has been loved and widely hailed for its intensive research, writing, and magnitude—“a tour de force, one of the most ambitious surveys of the history of Christianity ever attempted and perhaps the most radical” (New York Review of Books).
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.
