His Love Endures For Ever

This book invites you on a journey through some of the regions and cities which have played a pivotal role in Christian history down through the ages. Along the way it provides you with an overview of the history of the church – warts and all – together with reflections on the lessons we may learn from the past.' Stuart Coulton's lively and accessible survey covers the first fifteen centuries of Christian history, centred on Europe, and includes numerous photographs, timelines and text boxes. Each chapter is divided into three sections: The first gives a short introduction to the historical location, providing a feel for the place today; The second discusses the story of the church during the relevant period, seeking not only to describe events but also to suggest some reasons for what happened and the consequences; The final section offers some reflections to stimulate thought and discussion. Coulton's ultimate aim is to encourage us to look critically at ourselves, our churches and our communities, and to reflect carefully on what it means to follow Christ in a complex and at times confusing world.
