A Glorious Institution: The church In History (Parts Three and Four‪)‬

Another quality eBook from Chapel Library. This book is the second volume of the four part series which encompasses the breadth of Church history from its beginnings up to the present day. Part Three: The Reformation and Its Aftermath 1517-1648 observes the tremendous upheaval when brave men were transforming the spiritual Church into conformity with God’s inerrant Word, in deliberate departure from the traditions of men. We see Luther’s increasing conviction in Germany, then Zwingli, Calvin, and Farel in Switzerland—at great personal cost. We see the spreading flame of reformation come to France, the Netherlands, Scotland, and England, including incredible struggle for supremacy between popes, monarchs, and ideas. In Part Four: The Church in the Modern Age 1648-1900s, we see the difficulty men have when given freedom to study the Scriptures, to avoid false doctrines. Nevertheless, There were Great Awakenings as the Holy Spirit revived true Christianity and brought evangelical movements worldwide.
