Geschichte des Christentums in Grundzügen

This volume is an established depiction of the history of Christianity and its relative position in the world. It is not limited to names, dates and facts, but treats above all the elementary structures and main events of the respective times. The conditions and requirements of the events described are of particular importance. The individual areas of Christian life and thought – the history of theology, piety, cult, spiritual institutions, Church politics – are related to each other, and the most important figures are located in their own time and space.This new edition has been completely revised and the reference section brought up to date.
