The Zondervan Essential Companion to Christian History gives you what
it promises: the essentials.
Following a brief introduction that outlines the key events of the New
Testament era, there is a chapter devoted to each century of Christian
history beginning with the year 100 and ending roughly at the year
2000. Each chapter flows chronologically featuring:
A brief overview, highlighting the main threads and issues running
through the relevant century
- Key historical developments explained
- Thematic connections between centuries
- Color-coded sidebars on Persons, Ideas, or Events
- Persons: key figures either within or without the Church
who have impacted Christian history significantly or who otherwise
deserve special mention
- Ideas: important Christian books, as well as heresies,
doctrines, or political movements
- Events: world-historical occurrences such as battles,
natural disasters, inventions, or elections that have affected the
development of Christianity in the world
The final chapter, devoted to the present century concludes the
companion identifying key themes that the Christian Church is presently
dealing with and suggesting future issues. A select Glossary of terms
is provided at the end of the book, as well as a bibliographic list of
suggested reading.
This highly informative, broad-ranging book provides vital facts on the
growth and impact of Christianity from the apostles to the present day
not only in the Western world but also globally, including the
development of Eastern Orthodox and Armenian Christianity, as well as
considering Christianity in Latin America, Southeast Asia, the Baltic
and Slavic states, and India. The companion is organized by century,
going through the major events, ideas, and personalities that have
shaped Christian history around the world.
Whether you are a student or a lay person, a church-goer or
unacquainted with Christianity, this book will help you grasp the
global, multifaceted story of Christians.
