Church History

Church History is a fascinating guide that shows young readers (and even not-so-young readers) how God has preserved His church from AD 30 to the beginning of the twenty-first century. Travel through time and all over the world as you meet the people, learn about the ideas, and understand the challenges that have shaped the history of the church. Maps, time lines, and colorful pictures on every page show you the important people, places, and events of church history.

Learn about how Christianity spread to Armenia, the first official Christian nation; how a paper nailed to a church door in Germany marked the beginning of the Protestant Reformation; how the church has grown in places like Asia, Latin America, and Africa.

Discover how the church has answered important questions like Is Jesus really God? Can we be perfect in this life? May Christians allow slavery? and What is the gospel?

Most importantly, you will see that after two thousand years, Jesus’s church is still growing and proclaiming the good news of salvation for sinners all over the world.

Endorsements

“As always, Simonetta Carr has written an excellent book that will help to engage children and young people in learning about the history of the church. Thorough, careful, and always with an eye to the story of redemption, this book will be a real boon to parents and children alike.” — Carl Trueman, professor of biblical and religious studies, Grove City College

“Blessed indeed are the children who read and study this fresh account of the history of Christianity! It is an amazing work, both in terms of content and design. In the relatively brief compass of 250 pages or so, it covers the entirety of church history, highlighting key developments and key issues. Familiar figures in church history such as Augustine, Luther, and the Wesleys are touched upon, as well as lesser known individuals like Anne Dutton and Phillis Wheatley. With the various study questions throughout the book, it makes for an ideal textbook for a course on church history. In fact, it is so thorough and well written that I am even tempted to use it in one of my own seminary or college introductory courses on the history of the Church! I cannot say this loudly enough: Very highly recommended!” — Michael A. G. Haykin, chair and professor of church history, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

“This majestic and powerful book will become a staple in Christian homes and Christian schools for years to come. Its accessible writing, engaging illustrations, and historical faithfulness will engage readers of all ages. This visual encyclopedia brings to life the purposeful and powerful calling of Christians whose obedient lives helped change the world. May all Christians read this book and see that being a Christian means serving King Jesus, who is sovereign over all and who is good, just, merciful, and powerful at all times and in every situation. I can’t wait to use this book in my homeschooling.” —Rosaria Butterfield
