Christianity, one of the world's great religions, has had an incalculable impact on human history. This book, now the most comprehensive and up to date single volume work in English, describes not only the main ideas and personalities of Christian history, its organisation and spirituality, but how it has changed politics, sex, and human society. Diarmaid MacCulloch ranges from Palestine in the first century to India in the third, from Damascus to China in the seventh century and from San Francisco to Korea in the twentieth. He is one of the most widely travelled of Christian historians and conveys a sense of place as arrestingly as he does the power of ideas. He presents the development of Christian history differently from any of his predecessors. He shows how, after a semblance of unity in its earliest centuries, the Christian church divided during the next 1400 years into three increasingly distanced parts, of which the western Church was by no means always the most important: he observes that at the end of the first eight centuries of Christian history, Baghdad might have seemed a more likely capital for worldwide Christianity than Rome. This is the first truly global history of Christianity.

基督教核心教义就是：日子好也末日来临，日子坏也末日来临，所以洗洗睡了吧……
评分牛津同志老教授写基督宗教的历史，并为bbc主持六集记录片，由中东到近东到远东到中国，又回到古罗马、中世纪、宗教革命、新大陆。对讲基督宗教的历史同时又批判之，妙。
评分基督教为线索的世界文明史，简直如史诗般，值得研究和解读玩味的实在太多，例如十字架的符号史，宗教艺术史，宗教间的相互影响（例如pillars father和伊斯兰教），圣经的象征性解读，历史版本与基督身世问题、世界末日、monastery、希腊哲学及罗马神话对基督教的影响、Zoroastrianism。读的进度最快的一天居然是圣诞节在奥兰多环球影城排队等哈利波特过山车，排了四个小时硬队，让我从chalcedon读到明教在中国的兴衰。而圣诞夜西班牙语台转播的梵蒂冈教皇平安夜弥撒，也简直令人叹为观止。宗教因死亡而生，而历史又与宗教息息相关，人类文化实在九曲回肠生生不息太令人着迷。囫囵吞枣地读过感觉只get到了一个浅浅的轮廓，许多有趣的细节都忘记了，更多的部分并未理解，仍需要一读再读。
评分其实可以当一本基督教框架下的欧洲史来读。
评分JUSTING里听的中文版
