A comprehensive, documented, and encouraging survey of the church through the centuries.From Pentecost to the present, The Gospel Through the Ages traces the remarkable history of the Christian church through persecution, doctrinal struggle, reform, revival, mission, and global expansion. Beginning with the book of Acts and the apostolic foundations of the faith, this volume follows the church through the early fathers, the great councils, the medieval world, the Protestant Reformation, the missionary movement, and the modern global era.Written from a conservative perspective and designed for serious students, this seminary-level textbook combines historical narrative, theological reflection, documented sources, and instructional helps for classroom or personal study. Quizzes, exams, and answer keys make the volume especially useful for structured learning.Throughout the book, the background of the biblical canon remains in view, and Scripture is treated with reverence, accuracy, and historical awareness.Charles Owens
