Combining narrative with keen critique of contemporary debates, author and historian John Dickson gives an honest account of 2,000 years of Christian history that helps us understand what Christianity is and what it's meant to be. Bullies and Saints will take you on a big-picture journey from the Sermon on the Mount to the modern church: * Giving contextual accounts of infamous chapters of Christian history, such as the Crusades, and acknowledging their darkness. * Outlining the great movements of the faith and defending its heroes and saints, some of whom are not commonly recognized. * Examining the Church beside the teachings and life of Jesus and how it has succeeded in its mission to imitate Christ.
