1Here, for the first time, is two thousand years of church history at your fingertips in a comprehensive, easy-to-understand, and beautifully illustrated 24-page booklet written by church historian and theologian Dr. Renald E. Showers. From its birth at Pentecost, God has been building His church. Church history is the record of that construction and reveals what happens when the church is led in the right direction and what results when it is led astray. This excellent study tool will enable you to trace the development of first-century Orthodoxy, Romanism, the Reformation, liberal theology, the great spiritual awakenings, and much, much more.
