Church History Introduction
Church HistorySteve Gregg
In this introduction to church history, Steve Gregg emphasizes the importance of studying the history of Christianity in order to gain a greater perspective on the body of Christ, which extends beyond our own time and place. He acknowledges the shortcomings of institutionalized Christianity throughout the centuries, but also notes the divine origins of the church and the importance of maintaining a personal relationship with God. Rather than conforming to strict patterns of belief or institutionalized leadership, Gregg encourages believers to focus on the core teachings of Jesus and to allow for differences of conviction and interpretation within the community of faith.
