Full-Proof Ministries

I just finished reading Roger Olson‘s Pocket History of Theology pretty much as a filler book between larger volumes I was looking to tackle.  I’ve read a few popular surveys of church history to date and am often bogged down by the myriad of numbers, dates, and names thrown at me in even a relatively short book.  I’m often left wondering whether the numbers, dates, and names I do remember from a particular church history were even crucial to the overall study.  If you’re anything like me, you may just want to know what was really important in the grand scheme of things and how each of those important events helped to shape Christendom as we know it today.

Roger Olson, in his Pocket History of Theology boils off the dross to give you the pure gold of historical theology and paints a seamless picture of only the most influential bits and pieces.  Of course, the whole story cannot be told in just over a hundred pages, but if you can identify with the difficulty of keeping it all straight, this book would be a refreshing place to get a new start at attempting to do just that.
