A Tale of Two Paths
How does understanding church history contribute to a Christian’s understanding of the present? Is it necessary to understand the roots of Christianity in America in order for Christians to live faithfully in their present age? In this lesson, Dr. Nichols tells the fascinating story of Christianity in America, complete with many interesting characters. However, to understand this story, it is necessary to go back much further than the founding of America.
