Church History

This book summarizes what authors wrote before and shortly after the New Testament was written. It records facts about scandals in the Vatican. It relates the story of John Wesley's marriage. Interesting stuff! This book answers commonly asked questions, such as: What happened to the Apostles? When did the Catholic Church start? Why are there so many denominations? When was the New Testament formed? What caused the Protestant Reformation? What is Theological Liberalism? What is Fundamentalism? When did Pentecostalism begin? What is the Charismatic Movement? As measured by the New Testament, not everything believed and practiced in the name of the church has been biblical. This book evaluates those things biblically. The practical value of knowing what happened in church history is having a better understanding of what you believe, why you belong to the denomination that you do, and how to avoid repeating the failures of the past. Philosopher George Santayana wrote, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
