Great Survey

This book is amazing if you are looking for a quick survey of church history. Each chapter discusses a century of significant church history and has a few figures or major events that are highlighted. From those you can look up those figures or events to learn more elsewhere. Would recommend for things like a Bible study for a newcomers class. Depending on the denomination, the instructor could spend more time on the specific figures that most shaped that particular denomination.

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.
