Description

The story of Christianity is an immeasurably fascinating one. A faith that began in Roman occupied Palestine; as a small and fugitive faction within Judaism; grew; thrived and finally "conquered" the empire that had sought to exterminate it. Then; over many centuries and in many lands; it became the vital source from which new civilizations sprang. At times; its geographical range expanded mightily; at others contracted perilously. At times; the church proved heroically true to its deepest moral principles; at others; inexcusably traitorous to them.
