Christianity: A Very Short Introduction offers a bold new overview of the world's largest religion. Linda Woodhead provides clear, accessible, and up-to-date information to enable the reader to 'get inside the skin' of Christians and their beliefs, and to present an old and frequently told story in a fresh and illuminating way.

Lots of interesting history. Scope didn't match the title. Instead it focused on a couple of selected topics: geographical disparities, gender roles, and the European origins. From the title, I expected more of a common person's perspective, not a historical perspective.
