It generally followschronological order and identifies the most significantevents in church history, but the emphasis is on tracingdoctrinal developments. To further this purpose, it discussessome events thematically rather than in strictchronological sequence.We will use the words church and Christian in themost general sense, recognizing that the visible churchstructure is not necessarily the New Testament church asdefined by message and experience. We will discuss themajor groups of people who have identified themselves asChristian.Occasionally material in this book may seem complexand foreign, but some treatment of details is necessary toprovide background and to impart a feel for significantissues and problems. The main objective is to introducethe leading historical figures and movements in Christendomand to convey a basic understanding of their doctrines. This information will provide various perspectives onbiblical issues and will aid in dialogue with people of differentbackgrounds. The reader will see when, how, andwhy certain biblical doctrines were abandoned and certainunbiblical doctrines embraced, and will see how Godhas worked to restore and revive fundamental truths thatwere largely forgotten.7 This book arose out of teaching two semesters of 3

Let's all support our Oneness brothers who baptize in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, for the remission or forgiveness of sins. Amen!

God was One to Jesus, the Apostles and to the early church. In the second century, He became two (Father/Logos) by the Greeks. In the third three by apostate Catholics. Enough said.

My inexpressible thanks to whoever made this marvelous, hard-to-find book accessible to me here! I needed it to create my own complete doctrinal statement, to present to the elders of the church I hope to become a member of. This is so wonderfully complete!
