O knihe

  • A short, accessible, and original analysis of the world`s largest religion
  • Considers Christianity outside Europe, from its early history in Asia and Africa to the modern charismatic explosion in Latin America, Africa, and the Far East
  • Looks at the role of women in Christianity`s past, present, and future.
At a time when Christianity is flourishing in the Southern hemisphere but declining in much of the West, thisVery Short Introduction offers an important new overview of the world`s largest religion.
Exploring the cultural and institutional dimensions of Christianity, and tracing its course over two millennia, this book provides a fresh, lively, and candid portrait of its past and present. Addressing topics that other studies neglect, including the competition for power between different forms of Christianity, the churches` uses of power, and their struggles with modernity, Linda Woodhead concludes by showing the ways in which those who previously had the least power in Christianity--women and non-Europeans--have become increasingly central to its unfolding story.
