Let me recommend a downloadable audio resource that I think would be of great help in furthering your knowledge of church history. This is a study of church history (comprised of 13 messages) by Tom Nelson. He is pastor of Denton Bible, that I actually found out is near Fort Worth. I just listened to part of the first lecture but they seem to be awesome. If you want to expand your understanding of church history then download and listen to these!
You can listen to and/or download the messages here
Secondly, I have not read this particular book yet but have asked many people and browsed the internet way too long trying to find a good introductory book to church history (along with Ferguson’s text). This book has been recommended a number of times so I plan to read it sometime later.
If you want to check it out, read reviews, and possibly pick it up also, then go here
p.s. (add-on) alright guys i just listened to the whole first lecture and it was soooooo good!!! oh man you guys gotta listen to it for real. there was so much info in there. i think i took about 5 pages of notes haha kbye
I actually paid $30.00 for a CD series of these, and after listening to them learned so much about Church history, I wish I could have known I could have downloaded them for free!
The book you recommend is an excellent introductory text.
