Collins (former advisor to Pope John Paul II and consultant to the Vatican Committee for the Millennium) and Price (president of a Christian press) have created an ecumenical overview of Christianity. Describing themselves as "believers willing to put aside differences of tradition and doctrine to strive for the greater good," they present a beautifully illustrated history of the Christian church. Alongside the events, figures, and movements that helped shape the church of today, they illuminate the role of Christianity in ordinary lives and highlight the interplay between the church and the arts as well as the political and philosophical movements of each century.
