The History of Christian Europe
by G.R.Evans
GoodBookStall Review:
This book traces the spread and influence of Christianity in Europe from its earliest beginnings, looking at how Christianity began, was persecuted by the Romans, and was ultimately adopted as the official religion of the Roman Empire. The book explores the split between East (Greek Orthodoxy) and West (Roman Catholicism) and looks at the Reformation and the influences that encouraged the Protestant movement. Evans explores how Christianity has affected scientific thinking and the role of Christianity in the modern day world. The book is beautifully illustrated with many photographs and historical art work, and will appeal to anyone wanting a better understanding of the development of Christianity.
