History was always a chore for me growing up, and is still a difficult task for me due to the immensity of reading and memorization that goes along with it. Although I have barely brushed the surface of Christian church history it amazes me how many lessons of the past are applicable and relevant to the church today!
Here are some neat resources if you ever want to explore Church History for yourself!
Justo Gonzalez has written two great books,
one starting with the early church and leading up to the Protestant Reformation and the
other continuing from the Protestant Reformation to the modern church.
Another interesting resource is the
Christian Classics Ethereal Library. It has lots of early church writings (up to 1900 years old!) that have been translated and uploaded to the
Internet for all to read.
