Two hundred extraordinary photographs of sacred ceremonies, interiors, and breathtaking landscapes from one of the lesser-known cradles of civilization. Armenia is a country of unforgettable landscapes: a country framed by mountains covered in snow, dotted with deep caverns, stone valleys, lakes set around rocks, and countryside covered in wild flowers. But the true essence and soul of Armenia are the thousand year-old monasteries isolated in the depths of valleys and the more than 40,000 churches dedicated to the most ancient Christian religion in the world. All this, and much more, is documented through Graziella Vigo’s two-hundred extraordinary and original photographs: a collection of images portraying ceremonies, private rites, interiors of great allure and atmosphere, and incredible landscapes. An illustrated narrative of the country’s past and present is the ideal gift for lovers of travel, art and history of civilizations.

Rademacher describes how she came to embrace a relationship with God after maintaining a pick-and-choose approach to spirituality for many years. Christianity was never a path she had seriously considered.

Michael Peppard provides a historical and theological reassessment of the oldest Christian building ever discovered, the third-century house-church at Dura-Europos. Contrary to commonly held assumptions about Christian initiation, Peppard contends that rituals here did not primarily embody notions of death and resurrection. Rather, he portrays the motifs of the church’s wall paintings as those of empowerment, healing, marriage, and incarnation, while boldly reidentifying the figure of a woman formerly believed to be a repentant sinner as the Virgin Mary. This richly illustrated volume is a breakthrough work that enhances our understanding of early Christianity at the nexus of Bible, art, and ritual.

First published in 1976, Paul Johnson’s exceptional study of Christianity has been loved and widely hailed for its intensive research, writing, and magnitude—“a tour de force, one of the most ambitious surveys of the history of Christianity ever attempted and perhaps the most radical” (New York Review of Books). In a highly readable companion to books on faith and history, the scholar and author Johnson has illuminated the Christian world and its fascinating history in a way that no other has. Johnson takes off in the year AD 49 with his namesake the apostle Paul. Thus beginning an ambitious quest to paint the centuries since the founding of a little-known ‘Jesus Sect’, A History of Christianity explores to a great degree the evolution of the Western world. With an unbiased and overall optimistic tone, Johnson traces the fantastic scope of the consequent sects of Christianity and the people who followed them. Information drawn from extensive and varied sources from around the world makes this history as credible as it is reliable. Invaluable understanding of the framework of modern Christianity—and its trials and tribulations throughout history—has never before been contained in such a captivating work.
