The History Of The Rise Of Christianity Has Everything To Do With
Politics, Culture, And Human Frailties And Nothing To Do With
Supernatural Manipulation Of Events.
The history of the rise of Christianity has everything to do with
politics, culture, and human frailties and nothing to do with
supernatural manipulation of events. Had divine intervention been the
guiding force, surely two millennia after the birth of Jesus he would
not have a world where there are more Muslims than Catholics, more
Hindus than Protestants, and more nontheists than Catholics and
Protestants combined.
