This is the second in a two-volume inclusive church history that
pays special attention to Christianity in the southern hemisphere,
Eastern Orthodoxy, the church among minority cultures in North
America, and the role of women in church history. Beginning with an
introduction that situates the Reformers within a medieval milieu,
the present volume moves through five-hundred years of history to
the present, concluding with the question of whether today's church
is a liberating church or a church in decay.Through both volumes in
this set, Mark Ellingsen presents church history not merely as a
collection of facts but as an opportunity to enter into
conversation with the church's richly diverse heritage. He sees the
role of church history as: (1) community builder - teaching the
faithful their heritage; (2) safety-patrol - sensitizing church
leaders to the errors of the past that must still be confronted in
the present; (3) liberating instrument - learning to look at
reality from the perspective of the other, no longer chained to
one's own suppositions and cultural biases; (4) source of
theological creativity - providing access to the stimulating
insights of the great theological minds of the past.Here, then, is
an extraordinarily balanced text, one that provides readers with
sympathetic exposure to a variety of credible, scholarly
interpretations of major figures and that encourages readers to
make their own judgments based on the evidence and with the help of
suggested primary-source readings. Leading questions about the
material covered are included at the end of each section.Mark
Ellingsen is Associate Professor of Church History at the
Interdenominational Theological Center in Atlanta.
