TCH503‒ Overview of Church History: Description

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

Knowledge of the key events and people in our Christian history really shouldn’t be optional, because the stories of the faithfulness of God’s people and the faithfulness of God are uniquely inspiring and provide unequaled perspective for our lives and the times we live in.

The challenge, however, is finding a resource which proves engaging by making the stories come alive, yet condensed into one manageable course.

This course solves that dilemma by neatly summarizing the most important events in Christian history from the time of Jesus to today in 12 easy chapters, making the course refreshingly enjoyable for believers from all walks of life. The colorfully illustrated and well-structured textbook presents key events, people and terms every Christian should know, timelines, worksheets, websites, photos, maps and illustrations. It was described by J I Packer as “…a beautifully simple, beginner-friendly telling of Christian history, a precious heritage.” Video lessons additionally help with engagement and retention.

There’s no doubt you will benefit from (as well as enjoy) the book and the accompanying videos. A must-take course that’s not required.
