'John Bowden's A Chronology of World Christianity is more than a list of dates. A chapter covers each century and is introduced by a brief historical essay ..To have undertaken this kind of reference work was to embark on a mammoth task, not only because of the sheer length of the period, but also because of the necessary attention to detail...Bowden has accomplished his research with distinction and the result is a very attractive, if quite big and heavy book.' Canon Ian Ellis, Church of Ireland Gazette

• Introduction; 21 chapters, with each one focusing on a separate century from the 1st to the 21st.; Comprehensive Index; Glossary; Appendices; Index of Icons, Boxes, Maps and Illustrations.
