Highlights from Christian History

In Highlights from Christian History, Michael Gowens continues his tradition of producing print resources for the benefit of, not the scholar and academic but, the average believer in the pew. This title takes the extremely important, yet frequently daunting, theme of church history and attempts to distill it into crucial, defining events that serve to help believers interpret the contemporary Christian landscape with accuracy. The author sketches the key turning-points in the 2,000 year history of Christianity in the context of the family known as “Baptists,” a generally overlooked and dismissed group, but one that has sought to preserve the purity of the primitive, apostolic pattern of New Testament church identity.
