Christianity in History (From Pentecost to the Present)

Christianity in History explores the question of spiritual identity by tracing the spiritual family tree of Protestants in the English-speaking world from the early church to the present.

Written in an easy-to-read, narrative style, this one-volume overview covers key figures and critical moments in the church's story. While firmly grounded in primary and secondary literature, Christianity in History isn't a dry recounting of events but an engaging retelling of what Christians have believed, confessed, and taught across the church's history and how this took shape in individuals' lives and in shifting cultural landscapes.

As such, this book introduces the history of the church, Christian doctrine, and religious culture to help anglophone Protestants better understand their collective past. It serves as a useful entry point for anyone interested in church history and historical theology, especially undergraduate students. It will deepen readers' understanding of their spiritual identity by helping them better understand the many generations that have gone before.
