For many Christians, our understanding of the history of the church universal jumps straight from what we read in the New Testament to a basic understanding of the Reformation. We're missing more than a millennium! And it was a busy, fascinating, tumultuous thousand-or-so years during which Christianity spread across three continents. In places as distant and different from each other as China, Sudan, and Britain, the gospel was spreading, the church was growing, and believers were expressing their faith in myriad ways.
In this inspiring book, you'll learn about 30 key moments in the history of Christianity that illuminate the incredible diversity and unity of the faith. Combining a global scope with intimate storytelling, professor Mark W. Graham challenges you to expand your knowledge of Christian history and your appreciation for cultural and political differences among believers. The result will be a wider view of the church, a deeper understanding of other expressions of the faith around the world, and a greater connection to the cloud of witnesses who have gone before us.
