"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Attempting to bring full-circle the cultural and historical impact of 2000 years of Christianity, AD begins with the funeral of Princess Diana, creating an immediate feel of reportage. It is this impression of reading a series of newspaper articles, or a chronicle, that perhaps makes this a book to be dipped into rather than read by chapter. Even the generally good selection of pictures have a grainy, newspaper print quality to them. With only one map and a few small timelines to generate a bigger, overall picture, the emphasis is more on a selection of significant or interesting people and events. The "eyewitness accounts" are particularly fun to read: Gregory of Tours' record of the baptism of the King of the Franks, Clovis, in AD500 describes God filling "the hearts of all present with such grace that they imagined themselves to have been transported to some perfumed paradise." This is an informative, though not comprehensive, read. --Susannah Steel
