If you are looking for a coffee table book, you might well be tempted to choose How Christianity came to Britain and Ireland by Michelle P. Brown. A beautiful book full of glossy colour photographs and, at the reasonable price of £16.99, it certainly might seem a good buy.
But that is where the commendations must end for this is emphatically not an evangelical book, nor based on a concept of Christianity as the revealed truth of God’s word. Instead the Christian faith is portrayed as a religious thought system on a par with the other major religions of the world.
