Durant presents an extraordinarily sweeping panorama of the medieval period, covering the development of Christianity, the birth and expansion of Islam, the persistence of Jewish culture under persecution, and the intellectual achievements of Byzantine and Islamic civilisations. Written with the clarity and narrative drive of a master storyteller, the work argues that faith was not merely a spiritual force but the organising principle of an entire civilisation — shaping art, philosophy, law, and politics alike. Drawing on decades of scholarship, Durant illustrates how the medieval world laid the intellectual and cultural foundations for the Renaissance and the modern era, making this an indispensable work for anyone seeking to understand the sweep of human history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130728423643,"sku":"2026200010813-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/9a059a66-d109-4e9c-8ca4-1e9565cad678.png?v=1786589459","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200010813-secondhand-the-story-of-civilization-the-age-of-faith","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
