The Eighteen Christian Centuries

"The Eighteen Christian Centuries" by James White is a historical narration that explores how Christianity grew from a small group of believers to a powerful force across the world. White looks at the big events and changes that formed Christianity over eighteen centuries and how it has influenced the world. The story begins by looking at the importance of understanding each century's unique character or "prevailing Thought", focusing on the world during Jesus's lifetime and the Roman emperors who ruled during this period. This sets the stage for seeing how Christianity began and grew strong, even with the Roman Empire's ups and downs in politics.
