This fiftieth-anniversay edition of his seminal work includes a new foreword by the distinguished historian Martin E. Marty, who regards this book as "one of the most vital books of our time," an introductory essay by the author never before included in the book, and a new preface by the premier Christian ethicist James M. Gustafson, viewed by many as Niebuhr's contemporary successor. - Back cover.

The author draws penetrating portraits of individuals and communities, from St. Patrick and the Irish Church to the Christian communities of Armenia and Mesopotamia." "For the second edition, the book has been thoroughly rewritten and expanded. It includes two new chapters, on monasticism and Irish Christianity.

The revised edition contains new maps, a substantial bibliography, and a number of chronological tables to guide readers."--BOOK JACKET.
