Understanding Church History isn't always easy.

Christians know they should care about church history. But where do you start? And what's the point?

How to Read Church History answers both questions. Travis C. Hearne shows that studying church history isn't an academic exercise reserved for specialists. It's a practical discipline that deepens your love for Scripture, sharpens your theology, and helps you see Christ more clearly in every age.

This beginner's guide walks you through how to think historically, how church history relates to Bible study and doctrine, how to navigate the major eras of the church from the earliest centuries to the present, and how to find good resources and begin reading on your own. Along the way, Hearne strips away the intimidation and replaces it with a simple invitation: come learn your family's story.

The church has a two-thousand-year history of God keeping his promises.
