The Glory and the Blasphemy

by Lynn Headrick

Synopsis:
"A study of some of the significant historical events from the Pentecost of Acts 2 until the year of our Lord 1993."

The author of this study writes from the perspective that the only perfect history of the origin and mission of the church of Jesus Christ is the inspired word of God,and the only accurate predictor of the destiny of the church is that same infallible word of truth, the Bible. This material is intended for use as a workbook, and is suitable for both personal and class study. The thirteen lessons can be taken one at a time or divided into two parts for a twenty-six week study.

Each lesson consists of an outline and discussion questions.
