Product Information
"It would be difficult to imagine anyone reading this book without finding some new insight or inspiration, some new and unexpected testimony to the astonishing breadth of Christianity through the centuries." -- Philip Jenkins, author of The Lost History of Christianity "Interesting, insightful, illuminating, and remarkably relevant." -- Marcus Borg, author of The Heart of Christianity In the tradition of Howard Zinn comes a new history of Christianity that reveals its bottom-up movements over the past 2,000 years, which preserved Jesus's original message of social justice, and how this history is impacting the church today.

...immediately accessible, helped along by frequent and shrewd linkages to contemporary counterpoints. This presentation includes lots of folk along the way who never made the 'power lists.'

Bass reacquaints the reader to 2000 years of Christian voices whose faith called for social justice and radical love. By rendering their wisdom accessible, the author encourages the reader to a devotional and ethical renewal that is exhilarating and challenging., A People's History of Christianity is just that-a people's history, describing the diversity of Christian thinking, ethics and practices over the centuries, and so important to the renewal of religious imagination today., In this beautifully written history, Diana Butler Bass reveals the living, beating heart of love at the core of Christian faith., "...immediately accessible, helped along by frequent and shrewd linkages to contemporary counterpoints.

(Walter Brueggemann, Columbia Theological Seminary), For spiritual seekers—whether inside the church or not—and for believers who feel disconnected from their roots, she points the way toward important spiritual resources that have the potential to transform lives, churches and the world as a whole if people are willing to reencounter the riches of the Christian tradition., Butler Bass invites us into a deep conversation with the past which thrusts us into the future with hope.

What emerges is a persuasive argument that the real traditions of the church are 'faith, hope, and love entwined.', ...this book is so much more than a wonderful overview of Christian history. It is also a joyful apologetic for a 'new kind of Christianity.' I already gave away my copy, because I knew it would help salvage the faltering faith of a disillusioned friend., Intelligent and sassy, honest and redemptive. ...a warning that if we don't remember the blood-stained pages of the past, then we are doomed to repeat them., but also an invitation to participate in the next chapter of what it means to be the Church in this broken world., Charmingly written and refreshing to read, yet rich in details and thorough in its mapping of the major themes and events that have shaped the evolution of the Western Church, A People's History is our story re-told with both clear-eyed affection and a scholar's acumen., For spiritual seekers--whether inside the church or not--and for believers who feel disconnected from their roots, she points the way toward important spiritual resources that have the potential to transform lives, churches and the world as a whole if people are willing to reencounter the riches of the Christian tradition., With her customary lucidity and charm, this time in the mode of Howard Zinn's historical populism, Diana Butler Bass gives us this splendid account of the grassroots movements that have kept alive the spirit and way of Jesus for 2,000 years. ...enjoyable and illuminating., Diana Butler Bass presents a wide diversity of Christian experience in her gallop through two thousand years of history. The curious but hesitant reader who wonders whether Christianity just might have something in it for them will find that the answer is YES., With her customary lucidity and charm, this time in the mode of Howard Zinn's historical populism, Diana Butler Bass gives us this splendid account of the grassroots movements that have kept alive the spirit and way of Jesus for 2,000 years . . . enjoyable and illuminating.

I was very happy, finally finding, this Large Print version for my mother, even though I thought $9.99 shipping was a bit excessive. My happiness continued until I opened the shipping container and found a receipt itemizign book and shipping which totaled $15.00 less than I paid. Your suggestion for me to ignore the receipt was not the solution I was looking for when I contacted you. Perhaps a better solution would have been to apologize and insure you would be more cautious for future sales.
