A book I have been looking for

This is a book that I could not put down. I've wanted a source that looked at the history of Christianity and its influence in our world condensed in one book. there may be others out there but the title captured my attention and I'm pleased it did.

Good read

You’ll be surprised at how much the world was and is influenced by Christianity! There was so much to take in that I will most likely reread this book in the future.

Very helpful, as well as engaging.

If you could sum up How Christianity Changed the World in three words, what would they be?

Well defended, well communicated, and important

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

He talked about some ugly historical events, some of which I'd rather not think about -- but worth the trouble for the insights gained.

Excellent book!

I have heard most of these arguments but Dr. Alvin Schmidt has done a marvelous job researching and making it look very easy.

fascinating wealth of historical information

The teachings of Jesus and the transformed lives of his followers have had such a profound impact on our entire world that it is impossible to imagine how different the world would be if Jesus had not come.

very informative

great book, I learned so much and appreciate everything.the only part I would disagree on, or would like more of the authors opinion on is the part about music. his opinion seems very legalistic, and lacking in Grace and understanding
