History of the Christian Church: the New Testament

Résumé du livre

The Bible - who wrote it and why? Continuing in the History of the Christian Church series, historian Philip Schaff looks at the history of The New Testament, the authors and their audiences. These twenty-seven books afford us a truthful picture of the history, the faiths, and the practice of primitive Christianity, "for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness".History of the Christian Church: The New Testament is a revision of the first volume of the multi-volume History of the Christian Church by church historian Philip Schaff. Faithful to the original, at the same time it presents the information without the footnotes, lists of source of information, and other data that is important to scholars, yet merely clutters the page for the average reader.First published in 1858, many consider History of the Christian Church to be one of the best histories of the church ever written and with the removal of the "scholarly" information, this volume makes it easy for the average Christian to read about and understand the men and women who, under the influence of the Holy Spirit, began the work of Jesus Christ in building His church.
