Description

Were the Dark Ages as dark as we’ve dubbed them?


Exploring the hardship, oppression, crusades, and clergy of the Middle Ages (7th to 15th Century), Needham brings to light another side of the Middle Ages where Christ’s power shines through. Christ’s kingdom continues to be built through key figures such as Anselm of Canterbury, Thomas à Kempis, and John Wycliffe,

 

Far from stalled, stagnant, or stationary, this fiery season in church history is what sparked the Reformation.

 

Featuring:

  • Islam and the Church
  • The Crusades
  • The rise of Scholasticism
  • The Byzantine Empire

Volume two of five. Academically reliable, the accessible, humorous style and accompanying glossary make church history a subject for everyone to benefit from.

 

“It is a brave historian who tackles the extremely challenging task of writing the 2000–year history of the church. Nick Needham has more than risen to the challenge… well worth the wait”– Michael A.G. Haykin, Professor of Church History, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

What makes the books so useful is that in a non-technical (but not simplistic) way, they bring out the main story line of the history of the church through the centuries. But in addition, and most helpfully, each chapter concludes with a selection of writings (translated of course!) from people discussed in the chapter. This means that we are not only told what certain people believed, but we are able to read some of their actual writings -- and this is often extremely illuminating.

For many years now I have said: if you want a thorough, learned but accessible and well-written history of the church, read Nick Needham's 2,000 Years of Christ's Power. Now, with the fourth volume finally available, Christians have an excellent resource for improving their knowledge of the history of their faith. Highly recommended.

Nick Needham's volumes on church history explain everything that someone new to the subject might not understand. At the same time, they achieve a depth of detail to interest those who already know something of the subject. We use them as standard texts at LTS and look forward eagerly to forthcoming volumes.
