Download or read book A Sketch of Church History written by H. Morley Rattenbury and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2017-06-29 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A history of the Church has to cover nearly 2,000 years, the whole of the inhabited world, and the story of a community which now numbers some 850 million people. Because there is so much of it, it is quite impossible for any single book to deal with it all. For the same reason, the ordinary Christian finds it difficult to picture it as a whole. This book gives a sketch of the whole story, so that the reader can see the relationship of the various parts and avoid the distortions which come from concentrating on one place and neglecting another. The story of the Church is a fascinating one, and this sketch preserves all its interest while reducing it to manageable proportions. It is inevitable that the story is told from a particular point of view and that another writer would tell it differently. But though the selection of facts is limited by the personal viewpoint of the author as well as by the length of the book, the story is told with fairness and impartiality.

Download or read book Church History written by Dr. Justo L. Gonzalez and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2010-09-01 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the chief difficulties in studying the history of Christianity is the lack of prior exposure to the subject that students often bring with them. Struggling to keep up with the large numbers of names, dates, and places presented to them, it is easy for students to lose sight of the "big picture," the broad sweep of movement and change that instructors most wish to communicate. Justo Gonzalez has written this book to help students gain just such a quick and basic grasp of the main periods and issues in the history of Christianity. Drawing upon his own extensive experience and that of others, he contends that having been introduced to the essentials of church history in a brief and accessible form, students are far better able to understand and appreciate what they encounter in more detailed lectures and reading. Gonzalez provides a comprehensive opening chapter that summarizes major issues and concerns of each of the principal eras of church history. Subsequent chapters focus on the ancient church, the Christian empire, the Middle Ages, the Reformation, the seventeenth through nineteenth centuries, and the twentieth century and the end of modernity.
Download or read book Books and Readers in the Early Church written by Harry Y. Gamble and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1995-01-01 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fascinating and lively book provides the first comprehensive discussion of the production, circulation, and use of books in early Christianity. It explores the extent of literacy in early Christian communities; the relation in the early church between oral tradition and written materials; the physical form of early Christian books; how books were produced, transcribed, published, duplicated, and disseminated; how Christian libraries were formed; who read the books, in what circumstances, and to what purposes. Harry Y. Gamble interweaves practical and technological dimensions of the production and use of early Christian books with the social and institutional history of the period. Drawing on evidence from papyrology, codicology, textual criticism, and early church history, as well as on knowledge about the bibliographical practices that characterized Jewish and Greco-Roman culture, he offers a new perspective on the role of books in the first five centuries of the early church.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A simple and attractive account of the leading events in Church History, from A.D. 33 to the Reformation: for general readers; suitable also for use in Sunday and day schools." -Sir Montague Fowler, Church History in Queen Victoria's Reign, 1896 A two volume work, by Reverend J.C. Robertson, giving an overview of the history of the Church from the death of Christ to the Reformation. This book outlines the thrilling story of the onward march of the Church of Christ from the earliest times to the end of the nineteenth century. It is not a dry-as-dust account of long-forgotten events and controversies, but rather a moving record of those who undertook the adventure of faith before us and, through their courage and steadfastness, left an example for the church in every age. Reading of the exploits of those who have gone before us, through times of prosperity and times of persecution, should stimulate, warn and encourage the church in our own age to persevere in the same path, and obtain the same everlasting reward. Church History, from A.D. 33 to the Reformation is an excellent resource for personal study that will evoke your love and reverence to God for His Divine protection over the Bride of the Lamb of God, the Church.
