In the spirit of Howard Zinn's groundbreaking "The People's History of the United States" comes this volume that showcases the history of Christianity from the ground up, bringing to light stories of the faithful who had such a huge impact on the church and the world.
The Grassroots Movements That Preserved Jesus's Message of Social Justice for 2,000 Years and Their Impact on the Church Today
For too long, the history of Christianity has been told as the triumph of orthodox doctrine imposed through power. Now, historian Diana Butler Bass sheds new light on the surprising ways that many Christians have refused to conform to a rigid church hierarchy and sought to recapture the radical implications of Jesus's life and message.
