Once in a generation, a historian will redefine his field, producing a book that demands to be read or heard - a product of electrifying scholarship conveyed with commanding skill.

How should we interpret the enormous success of prosperity churches across the Global South? Politically, what will be the impact of new Christian movements?

Beginning with the life of Jesus, Robert Louis Wilken narrates the dramatic spread and development of Christianity over the first thousand years of its history. Moving through the formation of early institutions, practices, and beliefs to the transformations of the Roman world after the conversion of Constantine, he sheds new light on the subsequent stories of Christianity in the Latin West, the Byzantine and Slavic East, the Middle East, and Central Asia.

Their stories begin with desperation, and the struggle and the perseverance these national translators show is guaranteed to inspire...these are the least of these. Humble people-largely unknown to anyone else in the world. People hungry for God's Word.
