British scholar of Edinburgh N.R. Needham has done a superb job, in his 4-book series (3 released so far) of giving his readers what we might call the "big picture" of Church History. Without lingering long at any time period, he succeeds in explaining the major characters, issues, and events that shaped the history of the Christian church -- in enough detail to leave his readers with a good idea of how it all fits together on a time-line and to arouse a taste for further study in specifics! Volume 1 covered the period of the Church Fathers; this 2nd volume covers the Middle Ages (including the foundation and early character of Islam); the 3rd volume covers the Reformation period; and the 4th will cover the Post-reformation up to our Modern age.
Needham correctly believes that Christians today can learn and profit from the lessons of the past: the battles that have already been fought, the issues that have already been debated, the leaders who have come before us, etc. And he is able to present all this information in a manner that leaves Christians excited about the great work Christ has done through His church, from the first century through to our own day.
