The First Christianity

MacCulloch goes in search of Christianity's forgotten origins, overturning the familiar story that it all began when the apostle Paul took Christianity from Jerusalem to Rome. Instead, he shows that the true origins of Christianity lie further east and that at one point it was poised to triumph in Asia, and perhaps even in China.
