In Two Thousand Years, Professor Peter Partner looked at the birth of Christianity, from its Jewish roots in the first century, through the Roman Empire and beyond to the first crusade. Now, in book two of this powerful series, Professor Partner takes us through the turbulent and astonishing second millennium, when tensions between Judaism, Christianity and Islam was matched by the tensions between the different theological arguments within Christianity itself. This lavish book combines stunning illustration, populist appeal and academic excellence.
