Book Review: 5 Minutes in Church History by Stephen Nichols

Once again we bring up the subject of Church History. Why is this issue important? It is important for the church to study its history to see where it has been and where it is heading in the future. There have been many books on the subjects as well as podcasts. One of those is 5 Minutes in Church History hosted by Stephen Nichols.

If you have not noticed by now, that is also the same title of Nichols' new book, which is published by Reformation Trust. Each chapter in this book is episodes from the podcast's early years which has been divided into four sections, which address moments from The Early Church, The Middle Ages, The Reformation, and The Modern Age.

The beginning of the book reminds about the work of the Holy Spirit in the church. The Holy Spirit is not unique in our day and time. He is also not an individual gift but a corporate gift to the body of Christ. The Spirit has used men and women throughout Church History to carry on the mission of the church.

As I mentioned the chapters in the book are episodes in the early days of the podcast so they are short and should not take very long to read. If you are fan of this podcast, this book is for you. If you love studying Church History, this is indeed a book for you.

Thanks Reformation Trust for letting me review this book.
