Features: This book outlines the 2,000-year history of Christianity in a simple and warm tone. The entire book divides the history of Christianity into eight parts: The Age of Jesus and the Apostles, the Age of the Universal Church, the Age of Christianity in the Roman Empire, the Medieval Age of Christianity, the Reformation Era, the Restoration Era, and the Ideological Era. In Shelley's hands, the complex history of the church over 2,000 years becomes a clear and vivid historical panorama. Shelley not only grasps the overall context of history but also captures the characteristics of each era and its influence on the next.
