Church History, Volume Two: Audio Lectures

From Pre-Reformation to the Present Day

By: John D. Woodbridge, Frank A. James III

Narrated by: John D. Woodbridge, Frank James

Church History, Volume Two chronicles the events, the triumphs, and the struggles of the Christian movement from the years leading up to the Reformation through the next five centuries to the present-day.

Looking closely at the integral link between the history of the world and that of the church, Church History paints a portrait of God's people within the context of the times, cultures, and developments that both influenced and were influenced by the church.

The Zondervan Biblical and Theological Lectures series provides a unique audio learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook's direct narration of a book's text, Church History, Volume Two: Audio Lectures includes high quality live-recordings of college-level lectures that cover the important points from each subject as well as relevant material from other sources.

This lecture features the authors recounting the ups and downs, the triumphs and struggles, of the Christian movement. Primary attention is given to the history of Christianity in the West, but developments in Africa, Eastern Europe, Asia, and Latin America are also covered.

Useful for traditional students, students in distance and online courses, and independent learners alike, these lectures provide a full introduction to church history from the period just prior to the Reformation through the next five hundred-plus years.

Jibberish

The narrator doesn't know what he is saying and neither do I. He is a terrible speaker. This is a waste of money.

Good content • disappointing delivery

The series is described as audio lectures, but the first speaker (who does most of the narrating) is not lecturing, he is reading. And while the content is good, the reading is not. It feels like he is reading quickly in order to cover lots of material, and he often stumbles over words/phrases. It takes effort to keep listening.

The second speaker presents excellent content in a highly listenable manner.

not synced correctly

the chapters don't match the book. it defeats the purpose if I can't follow along
