Church History 101: The Highlights of Twenty Centuries

A excellent summary of a huge section of Church history which is an extremely accessible read for all! I thoroughly enjoyed it and am sure that you will too.

Was very useful as a fast review through several centuries of church history. Well-known and credible authors. We enjoyed this book ASA read-aloud shared together.

This compelling book gives simple introductions to a variety of figures from church history. However in the interest of simplicity/brevity it skips over their flaws; leaving the reader to believe that manny of these individuals were nigh on perfect which isn't true. Whilst brief introductions to topics are helpful, skipping people's flaws when looking at history seriously weakens the utility.

This book is a quick read and covers the main events of the last 20 centuries in Christendom It’s a must read if you are curious about all the events with regards to Christianity.

Because I have far too many books in my Kindle library, I often take a deep breath before embarking on any book that is more than 200 pages long just in case it ends up not being worth my time investment. One thing I've never really read about is church history and I dread having to read some 500-1000 page book on this, so I'm really thankful that this 100-ish page of super-summarised version of church history was published. There's no way we could get much more than a tiny itty-bitty little glimpse of church history (c'mon, this is 2000 years of history in 100+ pages!), but it's enough of a "bullet point" summary of church history that one can further explore in bigger volumes out there. It's a good "entree" for church history. But note because of the brevity, there may be bits and pieces that may be confusing because it's so short the authors couldn't expand more on it and make this a 500+ page book - and that is not the purpose of this book. Great very high-level overview that will whet your appetite for more, should you desire to understand the history of your - or any - church.

It combed through the ages in a concise but informative way. Got this recommendation from Wes Huffs website by the way.

Awesome l sat down and read the whole book in an afternoon.

This is a short and incredibly well summarized account of Church history. It is perfect to whet one’s appetite and inspire us to look for more, detailed information of our history as the People of God.
