In the Year of Our Lord

Reflections on Twenty Centuries of Church History

By: Sinclair B. Ferguson

Narrated by: Sinclair B. Ferguson

The story of the church is important for Christians to know, for it contains rich and uplifting stories of God’s dealings with His people. Dr. Sinclair B. Ferguson takes the reader on a tour of the Christian history, featuring stories and songs to give believers a sense of their place in God’s kingdom and to encourage them in their walk.

An excellent journey in church history

Around two characters of importance in each of the last 20 centuries of church history. Really enjoyed this walk through.

One of My Favorites

I first heard this book on the Ref Net app and was immediately captivated and had to find out what I was listening to so I could buy the book. I usually listen to several different books and podcasts at a time but I listened to this exclusively until I was finished. Ferguson is a brilliant man of God who’s sincerity translates clearly through his beautiful voice. This is the perfect bird’s eye view of church history, a fantastic primer for deeper study of that history, as well as an interesting way to view 20 centuries collectively for anyone regardless of their level of knowledge of church history. This book is often my go to at bedtime. Ferguson’s peaceful and hypnotic Scottish accent helps me relax and fall asleep.

The Bible people and why we have it

I loved Sinclair‘s eloquent rendition of who made and gave us the Bible that we have. It was informative easy to read and delightfully inspiring. I love how at the end of each chapter he closes with a beautiful poem or song from a very famous person. This book very enriching to read I highly recommend it For those interested in Bible history.

Truly Inspiring!

A friend recommended this to me and I just finished it and have already purchased 4 book copies to give to people! It is written in such an understandable way to see how the history of Christianity veered throughout each century highlighting famous theologians and many I did not know, but contributed greatly to our understanding. It answered for me many questions I had been grappling with regarding Church Denominations and the New Testament. I cannot recommend it enough!

Wonderful glimpse at 20 centuries of church history

I love Sinclair‘s writing and narration. This is a great “little” history book on notables from the Christian church. I like that it includes people that aren’t usually included in church histories.
