Um livro mediano. Nada de surpreendente em questão de conteúdo ou método didático. Também achei muito desproporcional. Eckman segue o mesmo antigo modelo evangélico de enfatizar a igreja antiga, os primeiros concílios e gastar apenas poucas páginas (sem muita profundidade) para tratar de todo o período da idade média. Depois, segue gastando dezenas de páginas para tratar do período da reforma e dos reavivamentos na Europa e nos EUA.

Good book as a reference book or a Church History Bible Study. Actually the book is set up with review questions at the end of every chapter.

This book was a great read of Church History. But I cherish this book most of all because it was a gift from the late Jonathan Thigpen, President of the Evangelical Teacher Training Association (ETTA). He was my professor at Welch College (formerly the Free Will Baptist Bible College) in Nashville, TN from the early to mid 1980's.

It is always refreshing to read the story of the past. This book gives a summary of church history from the apostolic age to 20th century modernity. Recommended to all who want to have a fast track study of church's journey.
