Books by Linda Woodhead

Is the Church of England in terminal decline, as some have forecast, or does it have a vigorous future? The Church Times decided it was time to give the C of E a thorough medical. Thirty-five specialists, including academics, researchers, parish priests, missioners and commentators, take the Church's temperature and prescribe some remedies.

In this Very Short Introduction Linda Woodhead explores the cultural and institutional dimensions of Christianity and its course over two millennia, including its geographical spread and struggles with modernity. This new edition is a candid portrait of Christianity's past and present, and its importance in the twenty-first century.

An Introduction to Christianity examines the key figures, events and ideas of two thousand years of Christian history and places them in context. It also places particular focus on the ways in which Christianity has understood, embodied and related to power. Comprehensive and accessible, it will have wide appeal.
