Description

If you know absolutely nothing about Christianity, let John Bowden and his team of international scholars be your guide. If you know a great deal but need an authoritative reference book, Christianity: The Guide is your ideal source. Rather like a travel guide, it approaches Christianity as a foreign land, which it remains for many people. Written at the level of a serious daily newspaper, this reference work introduces the very different forms of Christianity as they are to be found on all continents.

It sets out the geographical spread, history, great works of art, values, and contrasting forms of worship of Christianity and its denominations. A team of 175 expert contributors from the United States, the British Commonwealth, and Continental Europe, have written 300 major articles. In addition, some “150 boxes” provide succinct summaries of information on a variety of issues, supplemented by a “‘Who’s Who”, along with illustrations, diagrams and time charts, and a comprehensive index.

The Complete Guide assumes Christianity as terra incognita to its readers: not a single word or idea goes unexplored or unexplained. At the same time it is grounded in the most up-to-date scholarship, so it is an authoritative reference work. And for those who want not so much information as an answer to the fundamental questions of evil, suffering, death and the meaning of life, it offers possible answers based on the resources of the Christian tradition.
