- Synopsis
- For general readers and historians, an account of the Christian religion's defining events and people. Moynihan, a British journalist, made use of many primary sources and tells the story with verve: "There is something of the wolf to the religion that adores the Lamb," he writes, "and the characters to be found in these pages mirror every condition of humanity. There are crusaders and pacifists, mystics, hermits, jolly friars, and joyless puritans, polygamists, flagellants, missionaries, both sensitive and crass, misogynists, heroines, bigots, popes, emperors, and the frankly deranged. " In short, he covers Christianity's successful expansion as well as its catastrophes. B&W illustrations are scattered through the lengthy text. Annotation c.
