Christian Thought

An Introduction

Marianne Ferguson

Ferguson gracefully and succinctly compels readers to think critically about the wide-ranging topic of Christianity—its historical development, diverse branches, evocative facets, and the contributions Christians have made to civilization. Readers of all ages will enjoy Ferguson’s fast-moving treatment of such topics as the life of Jesus, Christian spirituality, prayer and religious experience in everyday life, and the impact of various denominations on individuals and society. She handles the complexities of the religion in a balanced, authoritative way that engages rather than overwhelms contemporary readers.
