2159 AD: A History of Christianity
According to Craig Borlase, author of a new history of the Christian Church, Richard Dawkins will join an Orthodox Christian Church, the Anglican Communion will split, under the leadership of Abp Rowan Williams, over the homosexuality issue and a new mutant strain of bird flu will kill 11million people worldwide. In 2159 AD, a serious study of church history told in an accessible and lighthearted style, Borlase projects 150 years into the future - by imagining himself as a writer in 2159AD - to see a hopeful vision of christianity rediscovering its core values in the damaged and secular world of the future.

July 30, 2011A very interesting book as to what might happen if we are not careful.
The first several chapters chronicle in easy to understand terms to story of church history to date. Then you find yourself in the present, but as if it has already happened. It then goes on for another 150 years - hence the title of the book.
It does not claim to be a prophecy, but there are lessons to be learnt from within its pages.
