An Introduction to Christianity（ISBN=9780521786553） pdf 在线 2025 epub 免费 书籍 下载

　　An Introduction to Christianity examines the key figures,

events and ideas of two thousand years of Christian history and

places them in context. It considers the religion in its material

as well as its spiritual dimensions and explores its interactions

with wider society such as money, politics, force, gender and the

family, and non-Christian cultures and societies. This Introduction

places particular focus on the ways in which Christianity has

understood, embodied and related to power. It shows how the

Church's longstanding love affair with 'higher power', both human

and divine, has been repeatedly challenged by alternative ideas of

of 'power from below', both sacred and secular. Finally, by

bringing the history of Christianity right up-to-date, this book

explores the ways in which churches of both North and South react

to the rise of modern democracy. Comprehensive and accessible, this

book will appeal to the student and general reader.
