Product Description
William Ramsay surveys the growth and development of the Christian church from the New Testament era to the present day. Placing special attention on the experiences of Presbyterians in America, he highlights key events and profiles prominent individuals who had an impact on the church's life. This brief review of the history that led Presbyterians to America serves as a valuable introduction for new member classes, adult study groups, and all those eager to learn more about church history.
About The Author
William M. Ramsay is a retired Presbyterian minister who taught for many years at Bethel College in McKenzie, Tennessee. He is the author of several books published by Westminster John Knox Press, including "The Westminster Guide to the Books of the Bible" and "Second Corinthians."
Reader Reviews
Though intended especially for Presbyterians, Church History 101: An Introduction for Presbyterians is a solid, well- researched overview of the history of the Christian church from the era when Jesus Christ walked the earth to the present. Written by a retired Presbyterian minister, Church History 101 draws on a wide variety of scriptural, historical and archaeological resources to reconstruct the daily lives of Christian faithful as well as the monumental impacts of rulers, persecutions, crusades, alleged heresy, and attempts at reformation. The text reads fluidly, and is highly accessible especially to lay readers and study groups. Discussion questions such as "To what extent does the church in our country reflect the ideas of the Puritans? To what extent should it do so?" and "What has caused Presbyterians to divide in the past? How helpful have schisms proved to be? What has helped bring many of us back together?" follow each chapter, to better stimulate contemplation and the exchange of ideas. A highly recommended resource and history refresher.
