Summary: A great reference book!
Comment: Whether you're a church scholar, a new Christian yearning to know the history of your faith, or a lover of all things historical, this book brings you everything you need!
The momentous events that have shaped Christianity since Christ's resurrection are presented in a timeline format, which makes it a smooth-flowing book. Reducing all of the world's Christianity-influenced events to "merely" 100 must have been quite a daunting task, with many notable events hitting the cutting-room floor. But I believe the choices were excellent, and the reader will be rewarded with better knowledge and a deeper understanding of Church history.

Summary: A first-rate survey
Comment: From the Fire in Rome in AD64 to the modern Chinese church, this book is an excellent overview of the history of the church and an excellent tool for those with little background in church history. If you're looking for a comprehensive examination of the church through the ages, this isn't the book for you - stick to Pelikan or one of the others. But if you want to see the flow of events throughout Christian history in just 200 pages, this is as good as it gets!

Summary: good start
Comment: I have normal complaints about events not on the list, but all in all, it is a very good place to start. I think it is very helpful in identifying recoccuring patterns in church history. The rise of monastic orders, the decline of monastic orders, the tension between freedom of worship in letting the Spirit move and a structure to move within. These ongoing patterns are mentioned again and again. The authors are not very critical in some spots, where they should be. Charles Finney, even though he belongs on the list, was a heretic and should be mentioned as such. The negative ramifications of his thought and practices are not explored. Likewise, the significance of World War I in destroying postmillenialism and the significance of the Holocaust are not explored. But what it does, it does well. It gives you a good cursory overview of church history by giving you a lot of short vinettes. I highly recommend it, but I would not rely on it solely.
