description: This book was born out of the author's deep conviction that today's Christians can benefit enormously from learning what God has done in the past. The mighty act of Christ did not come to a halt soon after the events recorded in the book of Acts. In every century since the first the Almighty has been at work and believers can trace his footsteps by studying the way that Christians of a previous generation faced the challenges that confronted them.The first in a series of four volumes which covers the history of the church from the earliest days up till modern times. Pastors and preachers will undoubtedly gain much from this series and those who already have an interest in church history will find the four books useful additions to their library. Nevertheless the series is written in a style that will appeal to the non-specialist and any modern Christian will find it challenging and stimulating to be introduced to men and women who loved and served the same Saviour that he loves and serves. This volume deals with the age of the Early Church fathers and includes together with many more the stories of martyrs such as Blandina and Polycarp theologians like Athanasius and Augustine of Hippo and preachers like John Chrysostom.
