Historical Atlas of Ancient Christianity

How far, and how fast, did the early church actually spread? The Historical Atlas of Ancient Christianity is the first work of its kind to map the physical footprint of Christianity across the ancient world, tracing the faith's expansion city by city and province by province—from Palestine and Persia to Britain and Ireland—through its first five centuries.

Complete with 59 full-color, meticulously detailed maps, illustrations of important monuments and places, and an up-to-date scholarly bibliography, this large-format volume turns the abstract story of Christian origins into something you can see. It serves equally well as a reference work for the library shelf and as a teaching tool for the classroom—an indispensable companion for anyone studying the ancient Christian world in its full historical and geographical context. Fr. Angelo Di Berardino, former president of the Augustinianum in Rome, provides an expert guide through it all.
