About This Book

A concise, chronological narrative recounts the origins, life, and teachings of Jesus, then follows the missionary journeys and trials of Paul and the other apostles, tracing key events, persecutions, doctrinal debates, councils, and institutional developments that shaped the faith. The account moves through succeeding centuries to survey missionary expansion, reformations, and the social and moral influence of Christianity, presenting a popular, fact-focused history intended for general readers rather than theological treatises or technical scholarship.
