Sketches from Church History An Illustrated Account of 20 Centuries of Christ's Power In this present century comparatively few Christian churches have thought it needful that every Christian should know the spiritual and church history which lies behind the present day. And therein, it may be argued, lies no small part of the spiritual weakness and superficiality of contemporary religion. For church history ought to provide a standard of comparison, it ought to raise our vision of God, and it ought to show us, by countless examples, what faithfulness to Christ truly means. Along with the attractive text Covenant Home provides a helpful study guide with leading questions and answers. An extensive test set/key is also provided.
