Norman Holmes shows us how Christ gave prophetic Scriptures to explain church history. The reader will see the awesome parallels between the seven parables in Matthew 13 and the seven letters to the churches in the book of Revelation to the history of the church. Within these passages of Scripture can be seen the planting of the church by the preaching of Christ and the apostles, as well as the growth and mixture that ensued, followed by the restoration of the church and the great harvest at the end of the age. Among the topics studied are: The growth, battles, and triumph of the Church How mixture and division entered Christianity The lives and exploits of mighty men of God How revivals started movements and denominations The Church’s completion of the Great Commission Preparing to reign with Christ in the Millennium
Book Synopsis Church History, Volume One: From Christ to the Pre-Reformation by : Everett Ferguson
Download or read book Church History, Volume One: From Christ to the Pre-Reformation written by Everett Ferguson and published by Zondervan Academic. This book was released on 2013-11-26 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Church History, Volume One offers a unique contextual view of how the Christian church spread and grew from its development in the days of Jesus to the years leading up to the Reformation. Looking closely at the integral link between the history of the world and that of the church, Church History paints a portrait of God's people within its setting of times, cultures, and events that both influenced and were influenced by the church. FEATURES: Maps, charts, and illustrations spanning the time from the first through the thirteenth centuries. Overviews of the Roman, Greek, and Jewish worlds and how they developed or declined. Insights into the church's relationship to the Roman Empire, with glimpses into pagan attitudes toward Christians. Explanations of the role of art, architecture, literature, and philosophy—both sacred and secular—in the Church. Details on the major theological controversies of the periods. Each chapter also contains callout passages from Scripture to assist in understanding the narrative of the Church, even to the present day, as part of the greater narrative of the Bible. AUTHOR'S PERSPECTIVE: Scholar and writer Everett Ferguson wrote this history of the church from the perspective that such a history is the story of the greatest movement and community the world has known. It's a human story of a divinely called people who wanted to live by a divine revelation. It's a story of how they succeeded and how they failed or fell short of their calling. From the Apostle Paul to the apologists and martyrs of the second century to Martin Luther, the historical figures detailed are people who have struggled with the meaning of the greatest event in history—the coming of the Son of God—and with their role in that event and in the lives of God's people.

Book Synopsis History Through the Eyes of Faith by : Ronald A. Wells
Download or read book History Through the Eyes of Faith written by Ronald A. Wells and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2013-04-30 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Christian perspective on the major epochs, issues, and events in the history of Western Civilization. In this groundbreaking work, prominent historian Ronald A. Wells integrates Christian faith with a historical view of Western civilization. By clearly outlining the cultures of the ancient Greeks and Hebrews, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, and the modern world, Wells illuminates our present situation and explores the major debates among historians today. The author invites the reader to apply the study of history to what “he or she already knows—that the kingdom of God and the kingdom of the world are not the same; while we dwell in both for a time, we know which one is coming, and which one we should seek first.” This comprehensive study, one of a series cosponsored by the Council for Christian Colleges & Universities, addresses questions faced by Christian students as they explore the history of Western civilization.

It begins with the person of Jesus Christ then traces the unbelievable and breathtaking growth of Christianity from a handful of Christ's disciples to tens of millions over the next two centuries.

It continues with the Fall of the Roman Empire, as well as leaders like Athanasius, Augustine, Jerome, and Chrysostrom, through the establishment of the Roman Catholic Church under the Papacy in the West. The origin of the Greek Orthodox Church in the eastern Byzantine Empire under the Patriarch of Constantinople is examined, as well as reasons for the "Great Schism of 1054" that divided Western and Eastern Christianity.

Great thinkers such as Bernard of Clairveaux, Anselm, Francis, Aquinas, and Bonaventure that comprised the Scholastic movement are examined. It concludes with precursors to the Protestant and Evangelical Reformation in John Wycliffe and John Huss as well as many "biblical humanists" during the Renaissance.

Book Synopsis The Real Truth About Church History by : James Sharp
Download or read book The Real Truth About Church History written by James Sharp and published by Author House. This book was released on 2012-08-20 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Real Truth About Church History answers the following questions: Why is Christianity the way that it is today? And how did we go from one church to over 34,000 Christian denominations worldwide? This is a huge problem because the world has acknowledged this fact. And the fact is this: A church divided is no church at all. So in order to end the division in Christianity, we must all go back to the Bible and the past. It is time for all Christians to speak the same things that were spoken by Christ, the apostles, and the saints of old after the Apostolic Age. This book educates you on the hidden facts about primitive Christianity by covering the first 5 centuries of the history of the church. The things that the average Christian have not been taught have been brought out more clearly in this book. Also, this book shoots documented facts that cannot be refuted. Now, more than ever, there must be complete and utter unity in the body of Christ. We're living in the last days, so it's time for all Christians to speak the same thing by the Word of God.
Book Synopsis The Global Church---The First Eight Centuries by : Donald Fairbairn

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover the Variety and Unity of the Early Church The Christian church of the early centuries spread throughout much of Asia, Africa, and Europe, spoke many languages, was situated within diverse cultural settings, and had varied worship practices; yet it maintained a vital unity on core teachings at the heart of the Christian faith. In The Global Church--The First Eight Centuries: From Pentecost through the Rise of Islam, author Donald Fairbairn helps readers understand both the variety and unity of the church in this pivotal era by: Re-centering the story of the church in its early centuries, paying greater attention to Africa, Turkey, and Syria, where most of the church's intellectual energy was nurtured Highlighting Christian communities outside the Roman Empire, as far afield as Persia and India, alongside those within it Identifying key events by their global, not merely Western, significance and taking into account early Christian interactions with other religions, particularly Islam The Global Church--The First Eight Centuries is an ideal introduction to the patristic era that broadens the narrative often recounted and places it more firmly in its varied cultural contexts. Students of the early church, formal and informal alike, will appreciate the fresh approach and depth of insight this book provides.

Download or read book Gospel and History written by K. J. Popma and published by WordBridge Publishing. This book was released on 2021-10-31 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gospel and History picks up where Scriptural Reflections on History left off, but with the added benefit of some 30 years' experience of life in church and society between them - indeed, the entire post-war period of the recovering 1950s and the revolutionary 1960s. A lot of water had gone under the bridge, and this was also true of Reformational philosophy. Theology in many respects was turning liberal, and Popma spends a great deal of time refuting the rationale behind that turn, the supposed need to keep up with the times, to keep in step with "modern man." For its part, true historical understanding must take the Biblical narrative into account, and more than that, it must take it seriously. For example: "We, by virtue of our very humanity, [are required to] make the personal acquaintance of the first human pair, inexperienced and innocent as they were. That is a difficult assignment, but it is not impossible, so long as we are prepared to enter a relationship that makes us as it were contemporaries of Adam and Eve. 'Modern man' so-called-Is he really that modern? Or is that modernity a mere excuse to back out of his simple human task?-'modern man cannot accept this, ' that is to say, he refuses to accept this. That has been the case throughout the ages. It's not at all 'modern'" (p. 167). "It is exceedingly foolish... to aver that this (as such mythical) modern man cannot accept the ascension of Christ. The unanswered (and for now unanswerable) questions relative to Christ's ascension into heaven existed already for the apostles who had witnessed the ascension with their own eyes. Our historicity does not differ all that much from that of people who lived two thousand years ago. Babbling about 'modern man' can call up pseudo-problems whereby the real difficulties are hidden from view" (p. 186). "'Modern man' is supposed to have discovered, with the cultural means of 'modern' times, that, viewed from a 'modern' perspective, demons do not 'exist, ' although they did exist for the apostles because their cultural pattern left lots of room for the 'existence' of demons, cosmic powers, spiritual forces of evil. A historicism of this kind brings with it the need for a general revision and invalidation of the biblical message" (p. 187). In opposition to this, a Scriptural, gospel-oriented view of history must take these data into account as "hard facts" (the title of another of Popma's scriptural explorations), and when that is done we arrive at a new vision of history, one which stretches back even before the material creation to that of angels and demons, and takes the entirety of history into account from that point onward, precisely as salvation history. The action of God in history is a series of judgments which seem ineffectual but which in actuality bring forth a new world, revealed at the Last Judgment. And history extends onward into the future beyond that final judgment. For there is no real end to history, except for those cast into outer darkness, who as such are no longer allowed to participate in it. "History was already there when God through the Mother Promise declared history to be salvation history.... history will still be there when salvation will have been accomplished: after Judgment Day and the resurrection of the flesh, history will continue-one might even say: then history starts in earnest, in the second and last Paradise, which will far eclipse the first in glory. The cultural mandate will go on; its field of activity will be immense" (p. 83). All in all, "the meaning of history consists in this, that God wants to unite all things in Christ, things in heaven and things on earth" (p. 98). In Popma's hands, history becomes a far greater thing than we can even imagine - and rightly so.
