Stops in 1 949, and is quite dated overall, but its strong Calvinist confessionalism is a relief in a sea of politically correct historiography. Nice, cloþ-bound bindiŋ; beautiful illlustrations (retro, black & white) & typography. ( ) no reviews | add a review
A standard survey of the history of the Christian church from A.D. 33 to modern times, The Church in History by B. K.

With close to 300 photographs, maps, and timelines throughout and thought-provoking study questions at the end of each chapter, The Church in History is an excellent introductory resource for students or for anyone wanting to better understand the history of the church.
