A standard survey of the history of the Christian church from A.D. 33 to modern times, The Church in History by B.K. Kuiper has long been the textbook of choice for many secondary schools and Bible institutes, having sold well over 150,000 copies since first published more than a half century ago.

Detailed and fact-filled yet balanced and readable, this volume offers a panoramic view of the church's growth worldwide throughout the past 2,000 years, including a comprehensive section on the church in the United States and Canada.

With close to 300 photographs, maps, and timelines throughout and thought-provoking study questions at the end of each chapter, The Church In History is an excellent introductory resource for students or for anyone wanting to better understand the history of the church.

Generally a good volume, easy to read and understand up until Calvin arrives. At that point, Calvin becomes the perfect teacher of Christianity. Arminians are stark heretics. The other forms of Christianity become ignored, or if they can't be ignored, mentioned without stating that they disagree with Calvin.

this Is a great book that covers parts of history youll never see in the history books of school. I really love the truths, and rich information that encourages growth for Christ

I find this to be an objective overview of church history written for junior high level and up. I am currently using it as a part of our homeschooling curriculum with our gradeschool age sons. The diagrams, photos and mini-timelines throughout keep things in perspective. The end of chapter questions are great for review. I would highly recommend it for a study on church history.
