Tried By Fire

A major narrative history of Christianity's first thousand years by
acclaimed educator and #1 New York Times best-selling author William J.
Bennett.
Full of larger-than-life characters, stunning acts of bravery, and
heart-rending sacrifice, Tried by Fire narrates the rise and expansion of
Christianity from an obscure regional sect to the established faith of the
world's greatest empire with influence extending from India to Ireland,
Scandinavia to Ethiopia, and all points in between. William J. Bennett explores
the riveting lives of saints and sinners, paupers and kings, merchants and
monks who together-and against all odds-changed the world forever. To tell
their story, Bennett follows them through the controversies and trials of their
time. Challenged by official persecution, heresy, and schism, they held
steadfast to the truth of Christ. Strengthened by poets, preachers, and
theologians, they advanced in devotion and love. In this moving and accessible
narrative, Tried by Fire speaks across centuries to offer insight into the
people and events that shaped the faith that continues to shape our lives
today.
