Yates offers an engaging description of how Christianity has expanded from its humble origins to become a leading world religion. In doing so, Yates narrows his focus to some of the missionary pioneers of Christianity such as the Apostle Paul, Willibrod, David Brainerd, William Carey, David Livingstone, and Mary Slessor. The discussion progresses both chronologically and geographically, marking Christianity's development through time and from continent to continent. Like the other volumes in the IVP Histories series, The Expansion of Christianity combines its easily accessible text with beautiful art, illustrations, and photographs, making it a wonderful introduction to the worldwide growth of Christianity.
