Breathtaking in ambition, Christianity ranges back to the origins of the Hebrew Bible and covers the world, detailing how Jesus’ message spread, how the New Testament was formed, and how Christianity galvanized America. “A landmark contribution....It is difficult to imagine a more comprehensive and surpris-ingly accessible volume than MacCulloch’s.”—The New York Times Book Review “A prodigious, thrilling, masterclass of a history book.

JOHN M.
