The Lost History of Christianity: The Thousand-Year Golden Age of the Church in the Middle East, Africa, and Asia---and How It Died is a narrative history that looks at how Christianity transformed into a global religion. Many people think it started out as a peaceful preacher with good morals. But as time went on, it became more violent, eventually morphing into what we now know as Islam. Philip Jenkins was able to build on existing scholarship and tells this story using primary sources from the time period. For example, he uses the writings of Constantine to delve deep into how the religion changed and why it transformed from one focused on peace to one focused on violence.

In the Middle Ages, there was a time period when Christianity was dominant in almost all parts of the world. This state of affairs lasted for between one and two thousand years, but then it suddenly ended-all over the world. It is difficult to find any trace of Christianity today except in a few remote areas, such as India, Tibet, and Greenland.

Christianity is a religion that has been around for thousands of years, but it was only a few hundred years ago that it became what it is today. In the year 1215, Christianity was radically altered with the signing of the papal bull, "Unam Sanctam". In this document, "the church" became a new entity in which the Roman Catholic Church and other Christian churches had only indirect control over other groups. This meant that any person could now join any Christian denomination. As time progressed and more people began to follow different beliefs, Christianity as a whole began to splinter into many factions that are still going on today.

Christianity has been around for over two thousand years. The religion originated in the Middle East and spread to Europe, South America, North America, Africa, and Asia. It was one of the world's most influential religions until it began to collapse from within. In the secular society that has emerged from Christianity's collapse, Muslims have quickly become the biggest group of believers in Islam. This can be traced back to when Muslims were able to conquer Christian heartlands like Spain and Sicily in just a few decades after 800 AD.

Philip Jenkins has written an audio book, The Lost History of Christianity that explains how Christianity changed and busted in the Middle East. He explains how the Christian bible is a bunch of myths and legends. It's not even true history. It talks about how Christ was born in Bethlehem, which is not even a city in the bible.
