Penguin Books Ltd Christianity: A Global History
David Chidester is an American academic who teaches in South Africa. He is modest enough to use an old joke against himself: when Chidester told Archbishop Tutu he taught comparative religion, Tutu twinkled, Ah, comparative religion--that is the religion for those who are comparatively religious. The objectivity and modesty which allows Chidester to poke fun at his own profession enlightens his monumental history of the Christian Church on every page.<p>Chidester tells the Christian story from its beginnings as a persecuted sect in the Roman Empire up to its present day international diversity. It is a rich and complex tapestry and Chidester handles his huge subject with rigorous scholarship, copious but unobtrusive notes, and a clear and readable style. He keeps track of the big historical trends while focusing on the fascinating personalities who have both dragged the Christian Church into scandal and schism as well as those who have lifted it to the heights of inspiration and holiness.<p>Chidester splits the Christian era into three chunks: the opening ten chapters deal with the first five hundred years, the next ten deal with the middle millennium and the third section covers the world wide expansion of Christianity since the Reformation. Those who like their Church history to be a disguised religious pep talk won't like this book because Chidester is expert at not taking sides; but for anyone who wants to study the majestic procession of Christianity through the history of the last 2000 years, this big book is worth every penny. --<I>Dwight Longenecker</I>

Granta Books 1688: A Global History
Two things strike you most about John E Wills remarkable history book: that no one has done it before, and that it has been done so well, so seamlessly. Like other bestselling historians of recent years, Norman Davies <I>Europe: A History</I> or Felipe Fernandez-Armesto <I>Millennium</I>, Wills' scope is vast, but in only in space, not in time. He surveys the entire globe, but confines his time-scale to the single year 1688. This year is crucial to the history of the West as it is the year of Great Britain's Glorious (because bloodless) Revolution, a seismic political shift that would ultimately prove far more significant than the French Revolution. <p> In Japan, meanwhile, the Shogun is very anxious about cruelty to dogs; in North America, a Jesuit priest and a tribe of Pima Indian converts are about to discover that California is part of the mainland; and in Australia, William Dampier records the first Western impressions of aborigines: The inhabitants of this country are the most miserable people in the world.... Dampier's gentlemanly wealth, of course, derived from buccaneering on the high seas. With such material to work with, <I>1688</I> was bound to be fascinating, but it could easily have become a ragbag as well. In fact, it is beautifully fashioned, a fine example of compare and contrast. The date itself, for instance--1688--was only a European construct. For Muslims the year was 1099, and for the Chinese, it was the 26th year of the Kangxi reign. This is, all said, a lucid global history for our confusing global age. --<I>Christopher Hart</I>
