Church History, Volume One offers a unique contextual view of how
the Christian church spread and grew from its development in the
days of Jesus to the years leading up to the Reformation. Looking
closely at the integral link between the history of the world and
that of the church, Church History paints a portrait of God's
people within its setting of times, cultures, and events that both
influenced and were influenced by the church. FEATURES: Maps,
charts, and illustrations spanning the time from the first through
the thirteenth centuries. Overviews of the Roman, Greek, and Jewish
worlds and how they developed or declined. Insights into the
church's relationship to the Roman Empire, with glimpses into pagan
attitudes toward Christians. Explanations of the role of art,
architecture, literature, and philosophy-both sacred and secular-in
the Church. Details on the major theological controversies of the
periods. Each chapter also contains callout passages from Scripture
to assist in understanding the narrative of the Church, even to the
present day, as part of the greater narrative of the Bible.
AUTHOR'S PERSPECTIVE: Scholar and writer Everett Ferguson wrote
this history of the church from the perspective that such a history
is the story of the greatest movement and community the world has
known. It's a human story of a divinely called people who wanted to
live by a divine revelation. It's a story of how they succeeded and
how they failed or fell short of their calling. From the Apostle
Paul to the apologists and martyrs of the second century to Martin
Luther, the historical figures detailed are people who have
struggled with the meaning of the greatest event in history-the
coming of the Son of God-and with their role in that event and in
the lives of God's people.
