Epic: An Around-the-World Journey through Christian History
About this book
33 fascinating objects. 1 amazing story. Join author and pastor Tim Challies as he embarks on a three-year journey spanning multiple continents and some of the most unusual places in the world. Tim introduces you to thirty-three carefully selected objects that help you understand the long and complicated history of Christianity in a unique and creative way.
Beginning with Jesus and the early church, Challies looks at:
- The importance of graffiti on an ancient jail cell

- The enduring importance of ancient manuscripts and books
- And much more!
Along the way, you’ll discover the story you're already a part of.

"Together we will listen to these voices of the past tell us the epic story of what God has done and continues to do in our world today." - Tim Challies
