How has the belief of a handful of people in Jerusalem two thousand years ago expanded into a worldwide faith? TheEerdmans' Handbook to the History of Christianity presents a comprehensive, colorful, reliable account of this exciting story. The best~selling Eerdmans' Handbook to the Bible (750,000 copies in print worldwide) has opened up the Bible in a new way for, many people. This new Handbook, similar in design and format, opens up the dramatic events which have helped make the Christian faith what it is today. The eight major sections introduce the history of Christianity, period~by~period, from its earliest days to the late twentieth century. Specially commissioned main chapters by expert historians form the framework within which many shorter sections appear: on people, movements, and subjects of particular interest. Over 450 photographs, many in full color, give the feel of each period. And useful maps, diagrams, and charts help the reader to understand and interpret the story, giving a bird's~eye view of events. The emphasis of the Handbook is on growth and vitality rather than on institutions, giving a broad understanding of each historical period, and then spotlighting key Christian movements and outstanding personalities of the era. Eerdmans' Handbook to the History of Christianity has been written by an international team of 70 contributors drawn from 10 countries. They write both as professional historians and as committed Christians eager to introduce every reader to the richness of the heritage they have themselves discovered. Tim Dawley, who served as Organizing Editor of Eerdmans' Handbook to the History of Christianity, received a Ph.D. in Church History from the University of Manchester. Formerly a consultant with the British and Foreign Bible Society, Dr. Dowley is currently Editor with Lion Publishing in the United Kingdom.…
