The book is an introductory textbook for seminary students who take
church history courses. Most seminary students do not have a
history background (and many do not look forward to taking history
courses at seminary), and so there is a need to provide a brief,
basic, non-technical introduction to the discipline. There are
other texts written for those seeking to do more rigorous research
in church history (e.g., theses and dissertations), but those works
are quite technical, long and dense. This book is for those in
seminary who are training for ministry, need help in their church
history courses, and who have no time or interest in wading through
a 200+ page text. The text is intended to be short, helpful, and
intelligible to a student with no history background.
The book is divided into two parts. The first deals with
theoretical issues such as the need for church history, how you
write about God as a cause of events, and objectivity in historical
research. The second is more practical in nature, and deals with
the types and use of sources, documentation, and types of
historical research. The Appendices provide helpful information on
terms, how to use church history in a local church, and how to
write a local church history.
Dr. Gordon L. Heath is assistant professor of Christian history at
McMaster Divinity College in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. He is the
author of two other books and numerous articles. He lives in
Ancaster with his wife Virginia, two children Joshua and Natasha,
and one rabbit ("Bunny").
