A People's History of Christianity

In A People's History of Christianity, historian Diana Butler Bass presents an alternative narrative of Christian history, emphasizing its enduring social ethics and inclusivity rather than merely the triumph of orthodox doctrine. Drawing parallels to Howard Zinn's The People's History of the United States, she highlights movements, personalities, and spiritual practices that have historically shaped Christian worship and social activism. This book authenticates contemporary Christian movements, showcasing their deep roots in the mission and message of Jesus.
