2,000 Years of Christ’s Power Vol. 1

The Age of the Early Church Fathers

Nick Needham

The first volume of <i>2,000 Years of Christ’s Power</i> covers the period from the 1st Century AD to the start of the Middle Ages. From the works of Saint Augustine of Hippo to the first apologetic ever penned, this time in history established the foundations of what we take for granted today.

2,000 Years of Christ’s Power Vol. 2

The Middle Ages

Nick Needham

The Middle Ages have be seen as a time of hardship and oppression, full of popes and crusades. In the second volume of <i>2,000 Years</i>, another side of the Middle Ages shines through. This was far from a period of stagnation; rather it was the fire from which the Reformation was kindled.

2,000 Years of Christ’s Power Vol. 3

Renaissance and Reformation

Nick Needham

Catholics, Calvinists, Lutherans, Anabaptists ? our present–day divisions were the controversial front–page headlines of the Reformation. Nick Needham presents a period of history from which we have much to learn ? one of the most important of these lessons being the vibrancy of people?s lives and the courage with which they faced death.

2,000 Years of Christ’s Power Vol. 4

The Age of Religious Conflict

Nick Needham

The fourth volume of <i>2,000 Years of Christ?s Power</i> spans from the 16th to the 18th century. It presents a time from which English Protestantism, Scottish Presbyterianism, and French Catholicism, to name only a few, were birthed and refined.

2,000 Years of Christ’s Power Vol. 5

The Age of Enlightenment and Awakening

Daily Readings – the Early Church Fathers

Nick Needham

The early church fathers have always had a special place in Christian theology. As the first interpreters of the gospel, we often find in their words a sense of the gospel’s freshness and reality. Their sayings, presented here by Nick Needham, are more than just relevant – they present the opportunity to kindle within us something of that same healthy and godly spirit.

The Reformation's Conflict With Rome

Why it must continue

Robert L. Reymond

"Robert Reymond is to be warmly commended for producing such a lucid book on the reformation controversy with Rome, and why that controversy must continue even today."

Distinct Communion

The Believer’s Relations with Father, Son, and Holy Spirit

Dan Peters

Readers will find here an abundance of stimulating material to aid them in appropriating God’s blessed triune reality,
and in nourishing a right and enriching relationship with Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, for His glory and our good.

Columba: the Faith of an Island Soldier

Bruce Ritchie

Bruce Ritchie has written a new, scholarly, ground–breaking biography of St Columba,
weaving together historical narrative and theological exploration in a masterful way. We encounter the man, his times, his life, his teaching, and his legacy, set before us with depth, detail, and colour. This now surely has to be the starting point for all future studies of the Scottish saint. In my judgment, the book deserves the widest possible circulation among all serious students of Scottish church history.

Augustine of Hippo

His Life and Impact

Bradley G. Green

... a well-researched, thoughtful, and straightforward introductory guide to the main elements in Augustine’s mind and writings, from which any student of historical theology can profit. I will be urging my students to utilize it.

Redemption

The Church in Ancient Times

Luke H. Davis

Luke Davis has written a very accessible and enjoyable introduction to early church history.  An ideal starting point for anyone’s first plunge into those formative years of the church’s life, faith, and worship.

Reign

The Church in the Middle Ages

Luke H. Davis

An ideal springboard to propel readers into further study of a sadly neglected period in church history.

Reform

The Church at the Birth of Protestantism

Luke H. Davis

Luke Davis has given a human face to the Reformation, the most decisive event in Western church history in the past thousand years. Here you can read about the great heroes of the Protestant faith through whom God wrought His wonders in the 16th century. Hopefully it whets your appetite for further study. An excellent introduction!

Renewal

The Church That Expands Outward

Luke H. Davis

In this volume, Luke Davis uses his biographical skills to take us on a journey through the 17th to the 19th centuries.
Once again, as in his previous volumes, he brings his characters colourfully to life, and stimulates us to want to know more about their persons and their times, in those three epoch–making centuries of church history.

Resolve

The Church That Endures Onward

Luke H. Davis

Here we meet with some familiar saints, such as B. B. Warfield, C. S. Lewis, Corrie ten Boom, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and J. I. Packer,
and others less well–known, all woven into a rich tapestry of God’s glory. As with Luke’s other volumes, this is a grand introduction to the modern era. I commend it warmly.

Reclaiming the “Dark Ages”

How the Gospel Light Shone from 500 to 1500

Iain Wright and Yannick Imbert

Evangelicalism, at a popular level, often rejects the Middle Ages as a period of sheer darkness,
hardly worth knowing. Iain Wright and Yannick Imbert demonstrate that the medieval period is very much worth knowing. I gladly commend this volume as helping us to see the brighter side of what is often looked on as the
“dark ages”.
