“What a delight to see this fresh approach to writing church history—namely, through the medium of both biographical and intellectual history. All too frequently, in narrations of the history of Christian ideas and institutions and movements, the utterly vital place that people (with all their strengths and faults) play in the history of Christianity is either glossed over or not highlighted as it should be. After all, it is people for whom our Lord died. A gem of a church history—highly recommended—and I cannot wait for volume 2.”
Michael A. G. Azad Haykin, Professor of Church History and Biblical Spirituality, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

“Kevin DeYoung deftly traces the history of the church from its early years in the Middle East and Africa through to the medieval West. He brings to life twenty key figures, with vignettes that open vistas into times and places where believers followed Christ. DeYoung excels at taking complex, scholarly material and making it widely accessible, and here he does so with 1,500 years of church history. The result is a thoroughly engaging read, with voices and stories of our brothers and sisters from the past that fascinate, warn, instruct, and inspire us.”
Gwenfair Walters Adams, Professor of Church History and Spiritual Formation, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary; author, Visions in Late Medieval England
