The Book
Written by the well- known author Geoffrey Parrinder, this is a succinct yet comprehensive encyclopedia to the largest of the world's faiths.
Christianity is presented both in its historical context and as a religion with great contemporary diversity. From figures and events of the earliest years to twentieth- century movements, and from western to African and Asian churches, Parrinder combines detail with breadth and remains clear and concise throughout.
