Description
Just as every American should know the history of America, every Christian should have a working knowledge of the history of the church. Beginning with the establishment of Christ’s church on the day of Pentecost, the author traces its history through the centuries. This includes periods of apostasy and corruption, which were unrecognizable from the church as described in the New Testament. It also includes the efforts of men to reform the church from the state in which they found it, as well as efforts to restore the doctrines and practices of the church in the first century.
Robert H. Brumback studied church history for more than forty years, and he was a teacher for a third of that time. This volume was put together at the urging of his brethren, who wanted to see it available to the brotherhood. It contains a thorough history of the church written to benefit even the elementary student of church history.
Jesus prayed that his followers might all be one. Yet the history of the church is characterized by division among those who professed to be the people of God. These divisions are the result of following men rather than Christ. By learning about the division and strife among men, let us be prompted to turn to God’s word and become part of the one body of Christ.
