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

Endorsements

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.

Carl R. Trueman, Professor of Biblical and Religious Studies, Grove City College, Pennsylvania
