Church History, Part 1: Why study church history?

The Rev. Adam Young teaches through the history of the church in this video.

“In this first lecture of our series on Church History we explore the basic question of why someone should study Church History in the first place. Following this we discuss what the Church was like in the years following the end of The Book of Acts (about AD 62-64) and what challenges it was beginning to wrestle with in this very early transitional period. We also introduce the cast of characters we will be studying in the first number of weeks of this series: The Apostolic Fathers!”
