How to order this book
An
expanded
edition
of The Macmillan Atlas History of Christianity.
Atlases
that represent
the first 1500 years of Christianity can, for the most part, safely
rely
on ethnic and national boundaries to provide the basic context for the
maps and drawings that illustrate change. Yet, as one approaches the
modern
period, when the creedal preferences of rulers and governments become
decreasingly
determinative, the geographical portrayal of religion becomes more
problematic.
In our era, this becomes more pronounced. How does one graphically
portray
'Lutheran' Sweden or 'Catholic' Spain when only 3.6 percent and 15
percent,
respectively, of the population is actually practicing? Which is the
best
way to represent the life of Christians in China, Indonesia or the
Sudan?
Franklin Littell's method is to highlight those times and places of
crisis
and decision - both internal and external - in which the shape and
direction
of Christianity was determined. Particular attention is paid to the
interaction
of Christians and Jews and to the encounter between Christianity and
Islam.
Three main areas are emphasized: theology and dogma; ethical and moral
life; and the expansion of Christianity to a world religion.
