My Top 5 Books on Church History



A History of the Christian Church
Williston Walker

An oldie but a goodie, this classic survey strikes the right balance of substance and readability.

Here I Stand: A Life of Martin Luther
Roland H. Bainton

The most widely read biography of Luther—and for good reason. A great read on the most important Protestant pastor in history.

The Burning Heart: John Wesley: Evangelist
A. Skevington Wood

Readers can feel Wesley's heart burning on almost every page.

The Missionary Movement in Christian History: Studies in the Transmission of Faith

The Next Christendom: The Coming of Global Christianity
Philip Jenkins

If you are a typical North American, this book is a must-read. It undermines our ethnocentric view of what God is doing today.
