University Press returns with a short, intriguing history of Christianity. We Wrestle with God: A Brief History of Christianity takes readers on a fascinating journey through the complex and often turbulent evolution of one of the world's most influential religions. Beginning with its humble origins as a small Jewish sect, the book traces how Christianity spread through the Roman Empire, survived brutal persecution, and eventually became the faith of emperors and kings. Along the way, it explores how the teachings of Jesus have been reinterpreted, reshaped, and sometimes distorted to suit the needs of different eras, from the transformative moment of Constantine's conversion to the rise of powerful medieval popes and the chaos of the Protestant Reformation. The book offers an insightful look at pivotal events like the Great Schism, the Crusades, and the Inquisitions, examining how these moments of division and conflict shaped the course of Christianity. It also delves into the enduring tension between faith and reason, highlighting the Church's struggle with scientific progress during the Renaissance and the Enlightenment. We Wrestle with God is not just a history of theological debates or church politics; it's a story of how human beings have continually wrestled with the meaning of faith, the power of institutions, and the quest for truth. As the book brings us to the present day, it reflects on Christianity's uncertain future, considering whether its core teachings can evolve to meet the needs of a rapidly secularizing world. Engaging and accessible, this book invites readers to discover the surprising ways in which Christianity has shaped, and been shaped by, the cultures it encountered, leaving a lasting legacy that continues to spark debate and inspire believers around the globe.
