Succinct and informative

Thank you writers for making this brief and helpful summary of 2000 years of Christ’s church!

Good history

I enjoyed listening to this short production of flying through the centuries. It was good history, but perhaps a bit too many evangelical conclusions were reached. It definitely sends a message that will resonate with hard core believers.
It felt like a history lesson sponsored by the church. That said, I love the brief format.It would be good for church groups who get little to no Church History training. As my dad always told me, eat the meat and spit out the bones.

Concise but Essential Read

Wonderful explanation of church history! I enjoyed listening to it and learned so much dispelling a lot of ambiguities of how Christian church came to be. Superb audible production!

Knowledge of the Church's History: Essential

A brief summary of 2,000 years is nearly impossible. Dr. Ferguson provides the best synopsis possible, in my opinion. In a day where, especially American, Christians are so detached from any knowledge of Christ's Faithfulness to His church, this book is an excellent place for leaders and laypeople alike to begin their understanding. The orator was fantastic. I couldn't stop listening. When the book had finished, I immediately played it again. I've studied this subject in depth, and even taught church history in my congregation. For those immersed in more exhaustive works on this subject, and for people looking for where to begin, this book is a must. Psalm 110.1. HE will have Dominion.

great overview

this is a great overview for novices such as myself. A perfect introductory work before diving deeper.

Informative

I gleaned much information from this book concerning how many men suffered and died to keep the Reformed churches true to God’s Holy scriptures. I believe the gates of Hell shall not prevail against the church. But, this book shows that the church has always had the enemy to contend with throughout every century.

Great crash course on Christian history.

Although it is highly influenced by reformed theology, it is a great quick run through of church history. I highly recommend.

Great for beginners!

Summarized the key movements, situations, and personnels in church history succinctly. Easy to understand for beginners who are interested in church history.

Great General Summary

This was an amazing light summary of every century up till the modern age of church history.

It opens the door to additional reading and guides people new to church history and its thinkers to a new area of study.

Succinct and necessary summary

Great start for everyone to get aquatinted with church history! I loved listening to this in just over one hour.
