Review:
"This is a book of inclusiveness. The text is down to earth and brings together essential findings of recent marerial in a fresh way for pastors and lay persons." - L.K. Allen, Presiding Elder, Christian Methodist Episcopal Church (L.K. Allen)
"Here is a splendid introductory church history text, rich in detail and theological insight. Ellingsen writes clearly, is sensitive to contexts, and widens the horizons from standard texts by including Eastern Christianity, churches in Asia and Africa, women, and other traditionally marginalized groups. This is an excellent achievement! Enhancing the work are probing questions along the way, to show us what continues to be at stake in the church's ongoing life and thought. A fine survey." - Donald K. McKim, Memphis Theological Seminary (Donald K. McKim)
"...excellent choice for a seminary church history course."—Thomas A. Smith, Loyola University, for Religious Studies Review, October 2000 (Thomas A. Smith Religious Studies Review)
" The book and its companion volume, subtitled Martin Luther to Martin Luther King, are worthy of consideration as textbooks for college courses that survey church history as well as for courses that survey a history of Christian thought."—Duane Warden, Harding University. (Duane Warden Restoration Quarterly)
