Of Church History
Diodorus says of Church history:
[Church history is] the handmaid of providence, the priestess of truth, and the mother of wisdom.Schaff accords:
Church history is no mere curiosity shop. Its facts are not dry bones, but embody living realities, the general principles and laws for our own guidance and action. Who studies Church history studies Christianity itself in all its phases, and human nature under the influence of Christianity as it now is, and will be to the end of time.Posted by jeremy stock at December 17, 2001 07:46 PM
