About This Book

A systematic survey sets out the aims and methods of church history and then traces the Christian movement from its preparatory roots and apostolic beginnings into the post-apostolic, ancient, medieval, Reformation, and modern periods. It frames the subject by distinguishing thematic branches and period divisions, examines the church’s interaction with surrounding cultures and institutions, and treats doctrinal, institutional, and social developments in tandem. The work also reviews primary sources and auxiliary disciplines, summarizes evolving approaches to ecclesiastical historiography, and provides guidance toward further reading and reference material for students and scholars.
