The Story of the Church gives an accessible and concise survey of the history of the Christian church, from the first century to the twentieth. Here is an epic tale of high hopes and great disappointments, of bitter persecution and heroic loyalty to principles.

It addresses the central question of why Christianity has spread around the world so successfully, and offers a distinctly evangelical perspective. Its clear structure pinpoints significant people and events.
