Our Watchword and Song: The Centennial History of the Church of the Nazarene

by Floyd Cunningham

This study of the growth of the Church of the Nazarene traces the denomination's doctrinal roots to the English Reformation and then explores the church's historical, intellectual, and doctrinal development.Giving special attention to the church's distinctive belief in entire sanctification and emphasis on education, the authors colorfully retell the story of the church from its humble origins in Pilot Point, Texas, to its expansion into an international community reaching the world through a warm-hearted faith.

An exhaustive history of the Church of the Nazarene, from P.F. Bresee to 2009. Not terribly well organized, but helpful nonetheless for those in the Nazarene church.

This is an important piece of the Nazarene tradition. Give it a read and find out somethings you might not have known about the founders and the make up of the early CoTN

Had to read this for my ordination class on Nazarene church history and polity. It was so boring, I repeatedly prayed for my own demise.

A good history of the Church of the Nazarene, some parts were well written and interesting, and some parts were very poorly written. It could have been so much better.
