A Key to the Knowledge of Church History (Ancient)

"A Key to the Knowledge of Church History (Ancient)" by John Henry Blunt is a historical exploration designed to illuminate the early path of the Christian Church through the 15th century. Rather than getting lost in difficult details, the book focuses on delivering core understandings about the Church's growth and essence before the Reformation. The story begins by painting a picture of the Church as both a tangible organization and a deeply spiritual union under Christ's guidance. Early chapters highlight the Church's establishment within Judaism, pointing out important milestones like the start of Holy Baptism and the Holy Eucharist. Attention is given to how the Apostles, especially Peter, helped build the Church's foundation, showcasing the Holy Spirit's powerful influence after Pentecost.
