Frans A. M. Alting von Geusau reflects on the tensions within Europe's Christian heritage over two millennia. Drawing on historical study and personal experience, he asks how faith, institutional power, division and reconciliation have interacted.
The chapters consider relations with Judaism and Islam, the East–West schism, the Reformation and the influence of political theology. Later sections turn to family life, sacred spaces, saints, education and artistic creation. The work combines a scholar's historical reflections with an explicitly Christian account of peace, repentance and human dignity.
