The opening section traces events to 1800 and includes chapters on Eastern Christendom, Christianity and Islam, the Reformation, the Enlightenment, and missions overseas. The second, examining the impact of Christianity around the world, brings the story up to date, while the final part, considering questions of theology, conscience, and belief, provides a glimpse into the future of the faith.
