Turning Points

Decisive Moments in the History of Christianity

About this book

"A classic study of the church's story, and all the more useful now in this revised and attractive new edition. A wonderful book to read--and recommend!"--Timothy George, Beeson Divinity School of Samford University

Now in its fourth edition, this bestselling textbook isolates key events that provide a framework for understanding the history of Christianity. The book presents Christianity as a worldwide phenomenon rather than just a Western experience.

This popular textbook is organized around 14 key moments in church history, providing contemporary Christians with a fuller understanding of God as he has revealed his purpose through the centuries. The new edition includes a new preface, updates throughout the book, revised "further readings" for each chapter, new sidebar content, and study questions. It also more thoroughly highlights the importance of women in Christian history and the impact of world Christianity.

Turning Points is well suited to introductory courses on the history of Christianity as well as study groups in churches. Additional resources for instructors are available through Textbook eSources.
