Excerpt from A Catechism of Church History: From the Day of Pentecost Until the Present DayThis Catechism, of which the former editions were all published in America, is intended to give to Bible-classes, and the older pupils in Sunday Schools, some acquaintance with Sacred History subsequent to the formation of the Church of Christ, to show the continuity of the Church to our own times, and to enable them to read with greater intelligence larger Histories of the Church, if they have the desire and opportunity of pursuing this most important study.But, while it is thus introductory in its nature, it is so arranged, and interspersed with brief biographies, that the learner may carry away with him a very fair knowledge of the subject in an intelligent and lasting manner.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
