Christianity is the largest of the world's religions, comprising about one-third of the human population. Yet it is one of the great traditions for more reasons than its sheer number of adherents. Christianity is one of the great cultural as well as spiritual forces in the world. Its impact on human history, whether positive or negative, cannot be underestimated or ignored, and a general awareness of its beliefs and practices and of the context in which these emerged and developed is an essential component of an understanding of world affairs. This volume presents a general outline of the history of Christianity, of its beliefs and practices and of its major (and of many minor) branches.
