Summary

• For nearly 2,000 years, the Christian faith has remained at or near the center of Western moral debate and conceptions of human identity, just action, and ultimate meaning.

• It has both shaped history and responded to history, showing an extraordinary adaptability within greatly differing cultures.

• Its practice and influence appears in every land and every language, and one-third of humanity now affiliates in some way with Christianity.

• How did a persecuted sect in 1st-century Palestine rise to command such a massive influence on human culture, imagination, and spirit?
