The ideal of the church, as expressed in its ancient ecumenical creed, is that it be one, holy, catholic, and apostolic. The history of the Christian church can therefore be interpreted as its effort to achieve unity, sanctity, universality, and authentic witness. History, however, testifies to the tension and imbalance, the anguish and stress, which have beset Christendom as one or the other of its ideal attributes have been submerged and recovered, overwhelmed and re-appropriated. With this guiding criterion in mind Dr. Marty accomplishes a brilliant, instructive, and eminently fair statement of the history of Christianity from its founding to the present day. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
For the non-specialist, Martin Marty traces the church's quest through twenty centuries for unity, sanctity, universality, and authentic witness. He delves into the disparity between the ideals of the church and historical realty in order to provide a brilliant, instructive, and eminently fair statement of the history of Christianity from its founding to the present day.In this second edition, revised and expanded, Marty has added an entirely new section entitled "Postscript and Prescript" in which he discusses the recent past and prospects. Fresh insights and revisions based on the most recent contemporary developments keep this volume abreast of the times, making it an up-to-date survey of the history of Christianity.
