History of the Christian Church

No institution has spanned more centuries and more continents than the Christian church. Its dramatic history is one of bloodshed and peace, corruption and poverty. Here Dr. Hurlbut retells this story in an objective, concise, and clear style, emphasizing the spirit of the church, its growth and maturation, and the causes that led to historical events and their resulting influence. Accurate, up-to-date, and vividly presented, Hurlbut's Story of the Christian Church covers the six general periods of church history from 30 AD to the present day. In this revised edition, after Dr. Hurlbut's death, a concluding section has been added covering the period from the author's passing to the present day to give us a comprehensive and easy-to-understand overview of the Christian church. Designed for two audiences, this book contains outlines and marginal references to help the student and teacher, along with a continuous narrative and numerous illustrations for the general reader. It is ideal for use in Sunday School, as suggested outlines and review questions for each chapter are included at the end of the book.
