Book Description

People's History of Christianity August 20, 2007
After the Reformation, Christians found themselves living amidst wars of religion, Enlightenment, and colonization. This volume explores the spread of Christianity to lands outside Europe and the Middle East, the new pluralism within Christianity, and the incredible transformation of the Americas and of Christianity in the Americas, including the advent of Evangelical, African American, and Asian Christianities. Includes 50 illustrations, maps, bibliographies, and an 8-page color gallery.

In this volume, the way in which lived Christianity and its practices were altered by these global changes is probed by an illustrious group of scholars led by distinguished historian Amanda Porterfield.

The contributors include: Amanda Porterfield, Florida State University John Corrigan, Florida State University Carlos Eire, Yale University Peter Gardella, Manhattanville College Ava Chamberlain, Wright State University Douglas Winiarski, University of Richmond Charles H. Lippy, University of Tennessee Cheryl Kirk-Duggan, Graduate Theological Union Marilyn Westercamp, Merrill College Leo Cavalcanti, University of Richmond Vera Shevzov, Smith College Ronald L.



Editorial Reviews

Review

"These stories may come up from the basement of church history, but news about their existence deserves to be shouted from the housetops....This new series turns history upside down..." --Martin E. Marty, University of Chicago Divinity School

"Hidden for centurise by their anonymity and illiteracy, the people of God are finally having their story told, and by some of today's finest historians of the church. The saints, bishops, and theologians of traditional histories can now be placed against the panoramic and fascinating backdrop of the lived religion of ordinary men and women of faith. Highly recommended." --Mark U. Edwards Jr., Harvard Divinity School
