Recenzii
Backhouse describes the history of official Christendom “from above,” but crucially, he also tells the story of the numerous movements renewing Christianity “from below.” No history of the church is complete that does not give time to these radical reforming men and women. A brilliant and beautiful book!
Rich, concise, and built for our most dynamic leaders (who will never darken the door of a seminary), this short volume is Backhouse’s latest masterpiece tool for the local church. If locally-deployed church planters knew their history, they would be far less likely to repeat its mistakes.
The Zondervan Essential Companion to Christian History is visually captivating---every page a joy to behold. But what makes this book so special is how Stephen Backhouse tells the Christian story. Facts and stories about saints, martyrs, heretics, monks, and missionaries fill the pages. This is a history book that reads like an adventure novel.
This book is well-named. It is indeed an essential companion to those entering into the study of church history. It gives students an outstanding way of orienting themselves, putting the towering figures of history into their social and theological contexts. It is full of helpful detail without being overwhelming, and it is written in a clear and engaging style, which draws the student in, teaching without daunting them.
This gathering together of snapshots from two thousand years of church history refreshingly lets each century tell its own part of the tale; and Stephan Backhouse is a brilliant guide through the bewildering twists and turns.
This volume is an invaluable resource for anyone looking for a compact yet remarkably comprehensive summary of Christian history. It includes a welcome emphasis on a global perspective, as well as highlighting the role of women in relation to many of the key developments in the church. It comes highly recommended.
