Download A People's History of Christianity: The Other Side of the Story AudioBook Free
For too much time, the annals of Christianity has been informed as the triumph of orthodox doctrine enforced through electric power and hierarchy. In A People's Background of Christianity, historian and faith expert Diana Butler Bass discloses an alternate history that includes a deep public ethic and far-reaching inclusivity: "the other aspect of the storyline" is not really a modern happening, but is definitely applied within the chapel. Butler Bass persuasively argues that corrective - even subversive - values and practices have always been hallmarks of Christianity and are necessary to nourish communities of faith. Inside the same spirit as Howard Zinn's groundbreaking work The People's Background of the United Claims, Butler Bass's A People's Background of Christianity brings alive the moves, personalities, and religious disciplines which have always enlightened and ignited Christian worship and public activism. A People's Background of Christianity authenticates the vital, emerging Christian moves of the time, providing the historical research that celebrates these moves as thoroughly Christian and faithful to the mission and subject matter of Jesus.
