MacCulloch follows the Christian story to all corners of the globe, filling in often neglected accounts of conversions and confrontations in Africa and Asia. He explores the roots of the faith that galvanized America, charting the rise of the evangelical movement from its origins in Germany and England. MacCulloch introduces the monks and crusaders, heretics and saints, slave traders and abolitionists, and he discovers Christianity's essential role in driving the Enlightenment and the Age of Exploration, and shaping the course of World Wars I and II.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">:Diarmaid MacCulloch</note> <subject> <topic>Church history</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Judaism__History</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Rome</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">270</classification> <classification authority="ddc">M133-D54</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9780670021260</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/16169/8.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/16169/8.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2024-1</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119071550.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
