- This volume "represents the first attempt in English to provide a readable history of the worldwide expansion of all the Christian denominations -- Roman Catholic, Orthodox, Anglican and Protestant. Bishop Neill, with an industry which has deterred many historians, has gathered together the most important material from the great mass of evidence in many languages: he gives a clear outline of the greatest and most sustained campaign in the propagation of a faith and and idea that the world has ever experiences. This massive, and at times heroic, chronicle comes up to the year 1962". -- back cover.
