Thank you for showcasing these beautiful books and it's contents. I already have Reformation: Europe's House Divided by Diarmaid Macculloch, folio edition. Is the set, really that anti-christian? I ask that because of: ‘I hope that this book will help readers stand back from Christianity, whether they love it or hate it, or are simply curious about it, and see it in the round.’ Neil MacGregor, from his introduction

Not being a Christian myself, I'm not sure that my answer (which is that it's not at all anti-Christian) is helpful. However, Rowan Williams, a former archbishop of Canterbury, gave it an excellent review, and said: "at a time when Christianity's profile in our culture is neither as positive nor as extensive as it has been, this book is crucial testimony to the resilience of the Christian community in a remarkable diversity of social settings." www.theguardian.com/books/2009/sep/19/history-christianity-diarmaid-mccullouch
