A People’s History of Christianity: The Other Side of the Story, by Diana Butler Bass
“The Other Side of the Story” is the subtitle to Diana Butler Bass’ excellent book, “A People’s History of Christianity.” For those who struggle with defending the many scandals and abuses of the church throughout the centuries, Bass offers a different perspective. “Big C” Christianity, as she calls it, receives all the attention in the history books. Crusades, inquisitions, abuse of government and political power, these are the things that characterize Christianity for most people. But it’s “Little c” Christianity that tells the story that connects most with the life, teaching, and ministry of Jesus. Untold first-source stories of followers of Jesus through the years make this book a must read for those whose faith has been tested in these days of Christian Nationalism with its harsh and unloving political agenda.
