O knihe

For many the term "ancient" implies drudgery and irrelevance. This book will dispel
any such notions. The ancient age brims with interest, instruction, and encouragement
for today's readers. This was an age of miracle-working apostles, fearless martyrs, and
stalwart church fathers; an age that preserved the scriptures, prescribed the creeds, and
produced timeless Christian classics; an age when the church was buffeted by fierce
waves of persecution and assailed by heresies of every sort. Through it all, the Lord Jesus
Christ, the cornerstone of the church, sovereignly shepherded his beloved church by his
word and Spirit.
In this first volume of Christ and His Church Through the Ages, author and historian
Herman Hanko tells the fascinating story of the ancient church during the first six
centuries of the New Testament dispensation. He relates how Christ faithfully guided
the church from the ministry of the apostles through the fall of the Roman Empire.
Highlights of this history include the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, the
spread of the gospel to the Gentiles, the persecution of the church under Roman
emperors, the deliberations of the ecumenical councils, and the battle for the truth
of sovereign grace.
Through this volume and the ones that follow, students of church history and interested
readers alike will surely grow in their love and appreciation for the saga of Christ's
church. They will find church history to be, as the author once affectionately described
it, "the exciting adventure of the marvelous work of grace."
