Biblical And Church History

As time allows we will be updating this web page to include information about Old Testament history.

If we wish to understand why Christianity is the way it is today and if we wish to avoid making the mistakes others have made in their Christian life, it behooves us to study Church history.  The people listed here had a major impact on the church, some for its good and some for its bad. We will stay away from modern day preachers and teachers, leaving that for another study.

MARTIN LUTHER JOHN CALVIN

Throughout the history of the Christian Church there have been good guys and bad guys.  The good guys being those who made true disciples of Christ and who taught clearly and accurately and the bad guys being those who misrepresented teachings in the Bible and who perverted the Gospel of salvation by Grace alone.  While none of the "good guys" was perfect, they all made major contributions towards leading believers away from error and towards the truth of Sacred Scripture.
