Format:Taschenbuch
I have normal complaints about events not on the list, but all in all, it is a very good place to start. I think it is very helpful in identifying recoccuring patterns in church history. The rise of monastic orders, the decline of monastic orders, the tension between freedom of worship in letting the Spirit move and a structure to move within. These ongoing patterns are mentioned again and again. The authors are not very critical in some spots, where they should be. Charles Finney, even though he belongs on the list, was a heretic and should be mentioned as such. The negative ramifications of his thought and practices are not explored. Likewise, the significance of World War I in destroying postmillenialism and the significance of the Holocaust are not explored. But what it does, it does well. It gives you a good cursory overview of church history by giving you a lot of short vinettes. I highly recommend it, but I would not rely on it solely.

Excellent, anecdote-packed book for the Christian layperson! However, the necessity of choosing only 100 events leaves many gaps in the reader's knowledge. This book is best read alongside a book such as _Christian History Made Easy_ (for which A. Kenneth Curtis wrote the foreword), to fill in the gaps.

A first-rate survey
24. November 2001
Format:Taschenbuch
From the Fire in Rome in AD64 to the modern Chinese church, this book is an excellent overview of the history of the church and an excellent tool for those with little background in church history. If you're looking for a comprehensive examination of the church through the ages, this isn't the book for you - stick to Pelikan or one of the others. But if you want to see the flow of events throughout Christian history in just 200 pages, this is as good as it gets!

Chrisitan history in 204 pages!
15. April 2004
Format:Taschenbuch
Granted, how do you pack approximately 1,970 years into two pages. There is a survey portion of information available about each of the 100 events, much as you might only recieve 1 page about Charles DeGaul in a World History textbook.
However, this book is a great jumping off point for someone who would like to study Christian history more in depth. Through the process of reading this book, you can discover people and events that particularly interest you and search deeper into those topics, rather than haphazardly grabbing a 20 volume set of Christian History and flipping.
Also, I enjoyed this book because it did not limit itself to the 100 most important PEOPLE. I enjoyed reading about the printing press, and the Spanish Inquisition, as well as Charles Spurgeon and Hudson Taylor.
*****Final Thoughts*****
This book is a great introduction to Christian history that will allow you to find events and people you want to study more in-depth. It is a great springboard for study.

Great book when read alongside others
