In this national bestseller; John Dominic Crossan; the world's leading expert on the historical Jesus; reveals how Christianity emerged in the period following Jesus' death. Taking an interdisciplinary approach; Crossan shines new light on the theological and cultural contexts from which the Christian church arose. He argues powerfully that Christianity would have happened with or without Paul and contends that Jesus' "resurrection" meant something vastly different for his early followers than it does for many traditional Christians today--what mattered was Christina origins finally illuminates the mysterious period that set Western religious history in its decisive course.

Most of the towns are familiar to me (I'm from Georgia live near Atlanta); also there are humorous incidents (soldiers getting dressed while marching--hard to do without shooting yourself!) and also touching incidents (an Ohio cavalry trooper whose injured dying horse managed to stagger along with the troops in search of its master until they camped for the night; when it finally expired). You really get a good picture of an army on the march; also of Georgians who are confronted with said army. Great piece of Civil War history.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Stories from those who fought this campaignBy LesSouthern Storm is an outstanding example that inside information about this campaign does add to the narrative. The detailed information from soldier diaries and citizens along the way are stunning; given most Sherman march stories cover only the well known generals and the tactics. While this book does reflect tactics it integrates the words and feelings of front line soldiers; citizens; and slaves alike. Well done; I have enjoyed this book and will add it to my Civil War library as one the best I have read. I learned a great deal from Trudeau's research.Les WilliamsCol.

First book I have read by Trudeau ; but I have read just about everything else on Sherman's march .By CustomerTrudeau seems to have all of his facts straight and his writing style is very easy to read. I highly recommend this book to anybody interested in the Civil War in general or Sherman's march in particular
