Profiles in Faith: An Ecumenical Church History (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798643479109)

When Jesus prayed for the Church, he could have prayed for peace, power, or prosperity, but instead he prayed for unity. (John 17:20-26) Paradoxically, Jesus divides us. "Do you suppose I came to bring peace on earth? I tell you, not at all, but rather division." (Luke 12:51) Why? Because true unity lies only in the Truth.

Profiles In Faith relates the stories of Christians across two thousand years and six continents discovering, developing and using their God given gifts to serve the Body of Christ. It is balanced on research of Catholic, Orthodox, Reformed and Evangelical authors. Chronological reviews maintain continuity of time, but muddle concepts. Maintaining chain of thought, Profiles In Faith is arranged topically by era.
