Sketches of Church History: Comprising a Regular Series of the Most Important and Interesting Events in the History of the Church, from the Birth of Christ to the Nineteenth Century (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Sketches of Church History: Comprising a Regular Series of the Most Important and Interesting Events in the History of the Church, From the Birth of Christ to the Nineteenth Century

The idea has too generally prevailed, that church history belongs only to theologians, and that it could be neither important nor interesting to the common reader. Hence there is perhaps no branch of knowledge, of which the mass of people are more ignorant, than the history of the Church of Christ in the world. Most of our church histories are too voluminous for the generality of readers and this is one reason, perhaps, why the sub ject has been so much neglected.
