Condition: Standard Secondhand — £13.24
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

From the Age of Christ and the Roman Empire, through the holy wars of the Middle Ages and humanism of the Renaissance, to the church crisis in modern times, this engagingly narrated history comprises the colossal undertakings, byzantine politics, and profound spiritual experiences that gave shape to one of the world's great religions. God or man or myth, Jesus Christ has exerted greater influence on human history than any other single figure, and the story of the religion that took his name circles the globe. For two millennia the art and architecture, the literature, the ethic, thought, and theology of the Christian people have evolved and continue to flourish in countries and cultures worldwide. Those two thousand years have produced spectacular successes, but often, as Bamber Gascoigne's illuminative chronicle shows, spiritual triumphs have been overshadowed by the horrors of intolerance, bloodshed, and greed. The events Gascoigne relates are as varied and vast as the cast—as dramatically different as the humble St. Francis of Assisi and bold Richard the Lion Heart battling Islam.
