Review
A vitally important book: Christianity has never been a more global religion than it is today, yet here we can see how global it has always been. . . . Marty writes with whimsical accessibility, the passion of a believer and the critical eye of a hard-nosed skeptic." --Publishers Weekly
A whirlwind tour of the history of Christianity . . . [Martin] Marty draws on his deep historical knowledge, and the quirky details he inserts paint a lively picture of Christianity s spread. --The Christian Science Monitor
Only Martin Marty, with his extraordinary range of historical understanding, could have written this masterful account of the Christian world. --Elaine Pagels, author of The Gnostic Gospels
