Illustrated History of Christianity

Paperback, formerly titled Historical Atlas of Christianity, second revised and expanded edition

"Littell is clearly a scholar with a profound grasp of his subject.  The book's strong points include the solid scholarship of the 180, one- to two-page essays, the 200 maps and the illustrations throughout.  Nothing quite like it is available." -- Library Journal

"Littell, one of the most distinguished historians of Christianity.  Like many other reference works, this one pays close attention to theology, dogma, and Christianity's ethical and moral dimensions.  Unlike some reference works, Littell's is deeply concerned about the expansion of Christianity and its growth into a world religion.  In this regard, his use of an 'historical atlas' approach to Christianity works exceedingly well, for the book contains an abundance of maps and pictures that give life to the text. . . ." -- Theology Today
