A History of the Church by James B. North,Don Umphrey Pdf
Church history books must choose either brevity or thoroughness. A History of the Church does an excellent job combining both. Although it has been used as a college textbook, it also has been used successfully in local churches and personal study of church history as well.
Historian Perry Miller said that to the Puritans, "History is a memorial of the mercies of God, so that posterity may know them, remember them, and hymn His praises." Eighteenth-century historian Joseph Milner desired that his church history be a "celebration of piety." Today, however, works of church history often fail to inspire or to edify believers. One of the goals of this book is to remedy this failure of modern church histories. The series of sketches gathered here enlightens Christians about their heritage and uplifts them by the godly examples of previous generations. The great men of church history are represented here: Augustine, Wycliffe, Luther, Calvin, Knox, Bach, Wesley, Whitefield, Spurgeon, and others. Also found here are the great themes of church history: the persecution of believers, the role of women, the history of religious art, and numerous other topics. The authors write on a level accessible to the layman, but they neither trivialize their subjects nor indulge in slipshod research. "History is a memorial of the mercies of God" -- that sentiment is echoed by the authors of this volume. Throughout the book runs the theme of God's sovereignty in history and His goodness to man. Across the pages of history, Christians may write, as J.S. Bach did on all his music, Soli Deo gloria! "To God alone the glory!" --
