Description
With color illustrations, pictures, and pull-out timelines, this history book brings the church throughout the ages to life!
Learn about the Early, Medieval and Missionary church, passing through key events such as the Council of Nicea and the Reformation – right through to the present day. Find out about the people God used and the impact they had on those around them – including us today!
This fascinating book is split into five color-coded sections:
1. The Early Church
2. Medieval Church
3. Reforming Church
4. Missionary Church
5. Modern Church
Sixteen colorful illustrated timelines place key events in church history in a broader historical context. Maps show the ways in which the gospel spread; tables clearly and simply lay out differences in beliefs; and illustrated pages explain key events, people and theological debates throughout the church's 2,000 year history.
Although each period is different from the others, there are common threads that run through all of church history. The symbols highlight a number of important things to look out for:
- Councils
- Creeds
- Martyrdom
- Kings and Queens
- Monsters
This absorbing book will be a great aid to anyone looking for an overview of church history. The pull-out poster featuring the whole timeline, plus key heroes and villains, make it easy to trace God's work through his church.
Endorsements
There are shelves full of books on church history, but almost all of them are directed to adults. This book not only addresses this regrettable situation, but does so with excellence. Parents, teachers and pastors who read through this engaging resource with their children will not only open their eyes to God's continuing work throughout history, but likely learn something themselves!
~David Hogg
This book is a treasure trove of exciting stories and factual information. There is no more important and compelling story in modern history than that of the Church, the people of God saved through the work of Jesus Christ. Linda Finlayson covers 2,000 years of action-packed, global history in a way that is both clear and comprehensive. 'God's Timeline' should be a required text in Christian schools and in homeschooling curricula.
