This book brings a variety of theological resources to bear on the now widespread effort to put humility in its proper place. In recent years, an assortment of thinkers have offered competing evaluations of humility, so that its moral status is now more contentious than ever. Like all accounts of humility, the one advanced in this study has to do with the proper handling of human limits. What early Christian resources offer, and what discussions of the issue since the eighteenth century have often overlooked, is an account of the ways in which human limits are permeable, superable and open to modification because of the working of divine grace. This notion is especially relevant for a renewed vision of intellectual humility-the primary aim of the project-but the study will also suggest the significance of the argument for ameliorating contemporary concerns about humility's generally adverse effects.

"The hand of the Lord was upon me, and he brought me out by the Spirit of the Lord and set me in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones. He led me back and forth among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, bones that were very dry. He asked me, 'Son of man, can these bones live?' I said, 'O Sovereign Lord, you alone know'" (Ezekiel 37:1-3). Many students approaching the study of Church History have felt a certain kinship with Ezekiel. They have looked around them and seen nothing but dead men's bones - and exceedingly dry ones at that. What good does it do to study the lives and writings of men who lived hundreds or even thousands of years ago? Those who study Church History with open eyes and open minds will find much that will make them better servants of Christ, both in their churches and in their communities. What are some of the things the reader should expect to gain from this study? First of all, Christians should expect to benefit from the examples of those who have gone before them. History is filled with fine Christian men and women whose examples should inspire us to follow in their footsteps. But we can also learn much by observing the failures and mistakes of others. Furthermore, Church History is able to teach us humility, as we observe the blind spots that plagued the greatest of God's servants. If men like Augustine, Luther, Calvin, and Whitefield had their flaws, both in their understanding of Scripture and in their ways of living, how much more must we, who lack their gifts and zeal, be on guard against those sins that make our own service to God less than perfect? Secondly, Christians should be able to gain a better understanding of how God works through the study of Church History. If Paul told the Corinthians that the incidents during the wilderness wanderings happened to the Israelites "as examples for us," the same is true of the more recent history of God's people. The same God is at work carrying out the same purposes, though admittedly we lack the inspired interpretation of more recent events that the Bible supplies for the Old Testament. Thirdly, the study of Church History gives life to Christian doctrine. Doctrine makes more sense if we realize how and why the church came to believe what it does. Furthermore, understanding of differences among the beliefs and practices of various churches will help us to be more tolerant of those differences, while at the same time developing the kind of discernment that will allow us to distinguish between truth and error, between legitimate differences and outright heresies. Furthermore, realizing how false teachings develop will enable us to be on guard against such teachings in our own lives, in our churches, and in the Christian world at large. Finally, the study of Church History helps the reader to develop a global perspective. We can serve Christ more effectively if we understand that the church goes far beyond the boundaries of our congregation, our denomination, and our country. A vision for the world comes only through a greater understanding of that world. The study of Church History not only serves the purpose of drawing Christians together as they see their common heritage, but it also motivates believers to care about and participate in the big picture - the Kingdom of God as it advances, around the world and throughout the centuries until Jesus comes. This text surveys the history of the Christian Church from the Apostolic Age through the end of the twentieth century. Unlike most history books, each chapter ends with a brief section seeking to apply the lessons of the chapter to the life of the reader in ways that will draw connections to the lives of Christians today.

“God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” —1 Peter 5:5 A battle rages within every one of us every day. It’s the clash between our sense of stubborn self-sufficiency and God’s call to recognize that we’re really nothing without Him. It’s pride versus humility. And it’s a fight we can’t win without looking repeatedly to Christ and the cross. C. J. Mahaney raises a battle cry to daily, diligently, and deliberately weaken our greatest enemy (pride) and cultivate our greatest friend (humility). His thorough examination clarifies misconceptions, revealing the truth about why God detests pride and turns His active attention to the humble. Because pride is never passive, defeating it demands an intentional attack. The blessing that follows is God’s abundant favor. “This is the one to whom I will look: he who is humble and contrite in spirit.” —Isaiah 66:2, ESV God clearly states that He is drawn to the humble. He’s also clear that He opposes the proud. These two, humility and pride, cannot coexist. Where one is fostered, the other is defeated. Which will you pursue? When you acknowledge the deception of pride and intentionally humble yourself, you become free to savor abundant mercies and unlikely graces. You will find a new life is yours—a life God richly favors. A God-glorifying life you don’t want to miss.

The Word of God exalts history and calls us to study it, yet the prevailing attitude among many Christians today is that the study of the past is good for only collecting bits of entertaining trivia. Asserting that "meditating upon God's works and servants in history is not optional for the Christian but an important part of covenant faithfulness to the Lord", church historians Joel R. Beeke and Michael A.G. Haykin present seven benefits for the Christian who studies church history, and they provide practical suggestions for how they get started.

`Two superb scholars in New Testament and the early Church here show why it is vital to dig deeper into the past in order to live well in the present and enable a better future. Above all they communicate the intensity of life in the Holy Spirit in the cities where Christianity took root - a life uniting head, heart, tongue and practical action. The culminating guidelines for mission in twenty-first century pluralist settings are packed with challenging wisdom centred on the crucified, living Jesus Christ.' David F. Ford, Regius Professor of Divinity, University of Cambridge `Here is rich and varied food for the mind, repeated provocation for the curious, and much stimulus for hours of discussion. The themes are challenging: How do holiness and mission hang together? Is the city more a threat or an opportunity for Christianity? Is the church really a learning community? How do Christians best work together? What do we need to hear afresh from the Bible and the early church on what really matters? Use the book for a study group. You will benefit greatly from it, and may well be inspired to act upon what you learn.' James D. G. Dunn, former Lightfoot Professor of Divinity, University of Durham `Four strong chapters, organically grounded in the experience and teaching of the Bible and the Early Church, undergird a remarkable finale that lays bare the radical challenge to mission posed by the modern city. This is a profound, accessible and convincing book.' Leslie Griffiths, Superintendent, Wesley's Chapel, London
