This book is a quick reference of personalities in Christian History that includes Theologians, Evangelists, Apologists, Pastors and Preachers. Each short biography includes a timeline in history in which the person lived, and gives a brief historical background of each person and how their faith affected early Christian history. Mystics are listed within the book as well, so discernment is needed.
A topical index, quotes and photos are also included in this book. There are other books on Church history that go into more detail and depth, but this is a good primer with the most general information and is a very helpful reference source to have on hand. The book is from the editors of Christian History Magazine.
