Then And Now - The Historic Church And The Younger Churches

This is not the first time that the Christian Church has been up against a hostile world. The issues which the Younger Churches face today were present in a marked degree to the Church of the first centuries. Relating his study of the early Church to his missionary experience, the author gives us a new presentation of Church History which has its centre in what he describes as 'the greatest event in modern history' - the emergence of the Universal Church.
