The History of the Christian Church (3rd ed.)

Philip Schaff (1819 1893) wrote one of the finest histories of the church available.

His eight-volume work, which covers Christian history from the apostles to the Swiss Reformation, incorporates discussion of ideas and ideals throughout the history of the church with the requisite facts and figures for each period of history.

Each volume contains maps, charts, notes, bibliographies, and an index."
