A Timeline of Christianity


Once again I’ve been sent an interesting infographic. This one is a little mixed; I’m not sure how you put theological differences into percentages and I wouldn’t include Jehovah’s Witnesses or Mormons in the category of Christian per se.

The one fact I did find interesting was the percentages of believers in different parts of the world. Interestingly I would discard the numbers for Europe – clearly not that high but regard the numbers for the Middle East as much more convincing and persuasive. It further demonstrates that the centre of Christianity has shifted south and east and definitely not north.

What do you think?

    Nicely presented, but staggeringly egocentric, even for a church history map. Jumping from 380 to 1517 in one go is beyond parody. So is mentioning Mother Teresa without mentioning Nicea or the Great Schism 🙂
