they discover in the Word to the lessons and history of the Church. This is not
a comprehensive study of history but a survey of God’s work among His people
through history. Two semester long courses work to answer the question: Why
study the history of the Church?
Church history gives us a big picture of the sovereignty of
God
Church history teaches us how to extend grace
Church history reminds us of the authority of Scripture
Each volume
is a 13-week study of God’s prevailing work in His narrative. The course
includes a Student worktext, a Teacher’s Manual, and free Presentation
