From Jesus ‘til Now: A Timeline of Captivating Stories That Lead You Inside Church History

A masterful overview of the Big “C” Church from the birth of Jesus until today.

Brief stories bring to life the people of the early Christian church and the communities in which Christianity struggled and grew. You’ll watch a widow hide her son’s clothing so he can’t go out and get himself martyred. You’ll contemplate traveling as Christian missionaries to England -- the “world’s end.” You’ll go from the word-of-mouth beginnings of Christianity to times when printed Bibles made God’s Word readily available. You’ll see quiet worship in homes and monasteries and also see the public impact of Christian leaders like John Calvin, William Tyndale, and John Knox. You’ll watch as Martin Luther’s Reformation unintentionally unfolds in the continuing division, creating what are now hundreds of Protestant Christian denominations.

Each chapter focuses on roughly one century in the life of the Christian church, providing an even-handed view of Catholicism, Orthodox Christianity, and Protestant denominations. Discussion questions at the end of each chapter offer opportunities to reflect on parallels in contemporary Christian church life, considerations from a relevant Bible passage, and opportunities for application. This is an excellent text for a half-year study group.

Just when you think history is boring, From Jesus ’Til Now captivates you and draws you into “His Story.”
