Through more than one hundred beautiful color maps and illustrations, \u003ci\u003eChristianity\u003c\/i\u003e traces the history of the religion, beginning with the world of Jesus Christ. From the consolidation of the first Christian empire--Constantine's Rome--to the early Christian states that thrived in Ireland, Ethiopia, and other regions of the Roman periphery, Christianity quickly proved dynamic and adaptable. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAfter centuries of dissemination, strife, dogmatic division, and warfare in its European and Near Eastern heartland, Christianity conquered new worlds. In North America, immigrants fleeing persecution and intolerance rejected the established Church, and in time revivalist religions flourished and spread. Missionaries took the Christian message to Latin America, Africa, and Asia, bringing millions of new converts into the fold. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eChristianity has served as the inspiration for some of the world's finest monuments, literature, art, and architecture, while also playing a major role in world politics and history, including conquest, colonization, conflict, and liberation.
